Ok then, separate thread ;-) I just watched this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyMLi8QF6sw while I continued testing systemd in my VM. The VM runs ~amd64, so far only a few services started (I still get my head around how to enable/disable specific services/targets), and it boots really fast. I am not the ricer-kind-of-gentoo-users, but it impresses me anyway. And I clearly see the benefits of socket-based-activation, cgroup-control and other stuff systemd brings. AFAI see the wiki mentioned is a starting point only. It provides the first steps, but not much more, at least to me, right now. - There is a layman-overlay "systemd" which brings units (service-files) to your system. AFAI understand it is still up to the user to enable/link these files into their runlevel? If it is that way it feels like a bit of trial-and-error to me to get my systemd-setup doing the same things my current openrc-system does. Especially for not-so-trivial stuff like the network settings for KVM (bridging, TUN/TAP ...) My approach would be to "rc-config show", take that list and try to enable the according services within systemd. Maybe I am completely wrong, maybe not. I'd be happy to discuss these things with you gentoo-users. Thanks, greets, Stefan
