Removing systemd dependencies

Mon Nov 10, 2014 8:33 pm

Hi Refractologists,

Following the ongoing systemd debate, I ended up with some diagrams (courtesy of Slavko) showing some dependencies on systemd.

He succeeded in modifying several of the key debian packages that propagate these dependencies by simply editing the packages' debian/ directories.

I've started to work on generating systemd-free packages for them, however my packaging-fu is a little (actually very) rusty.

If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to share the code and task! I think this is a better solution than pinning, although of course fundamentally imperfect.

Greetings,

edbarx's work chronicled over on FDN could possibly add something useful
to the mix. Here's his latest post.

Yes, thanks, we're interested. dzz has been doing some of the same. I think there's a link to his packages in the thread on systemd, going with the flow.

I get '500 Internal Server Error' on all your links. I'll try again tomorrow to see if it's changed.
