-- (( - geez, folks getting personal abuse and insults, in being called a _prat_ by _Kevin Lyda_: folks must be doing something right if 'ole KY doesn't like it; ask around in Eire - they know _him_ allright. It would be appreciated, Kerv, if you don't bring your talk of 'much love and affection' to 'Dear children' - moreover on the internet and to people you've near-100% never met - to these lists: best take it elsewhere, like to AGS. )) -- Mucky-matters, pt.II: sysd medium-/long- term is most likely to have the better ideas extracted from it and improved on, and absorbed in parts into *nix: while monolithic sysd itself will likely become 'just' another optional and sizeable piece of *nix software; many aspects of it and the related landscape, remind me of same re Dan Bernstein's works. For, people with any brains or talent - as opposed to sheeple - don't take to railroading. I see that folks are already breaking-up sysd into explicitly modularised packages so that folks can pick'n'choose which parts they may want to install (& as distinct from cfg-/build- stage flags). I expect sysd folks to really try to prevent and break that. It'd be an interesting tug'o'war. (( Happily, in this respect at least, the work that we do here - maths/computing - doesn't rely on using specifically linux; just a broadly-*nix-like platform (and that we can programmatically spec/cfg/bld/maint relatively easily) is fine, though still not essential. So the notion that "you'll _have_ to use sysd", flung by some chimps, is quite revealing: some folks think that their horizons define everyone else's. We don't waste precious life- time on their mirages and ephemera. )) -- rgds, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
