Yeah it sucks, and it has for a long time compared to its alternatives and I'm also familiar with SMF on Solaris, rc on FeeBSD and its modernization efforts[1], as well as upstart on Ubuntu. I'd still be interested in the reasoning why we have to switch right now and why it has to be systemd.
Upstart contributions require copyright assignments to Canonical. That rules Upstart out. And that you seriously propose init systems from completely different operating systems which therefore did never ever received any form of testing or development on Linux makes me wonder how serious to take your arguments about maturity. systemd is largely compatible with Mac OS X's launchd -- which means that Apple already did a big part patching deamons out there for launchd and systemd only requires a few additional tweaks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
