That's been the result of every single systemd complaint. Noone just stepped up and maintained one of the alternative init systems.
And frankly, systemd is not bad technology. It's certainly much better than sysvinit was, and the dependency model solves a number of issues for me, also the more event-driven approach. There are a huge number of excellent ideas in it.
Probably few people dispute that event-driven init, service supervision etc. are a good idea and there are various proven implementations long before systemd. The problem lies more with that it started as a bad reimplementation of launchd and now has a Napoleon complex wanting to be the "basic building blocks of the OS" with tightly-coupled, less-capable, and sometimes outright broken reimplementations of various daemons and system services. That is a large part of what is wrong with it and we should reject the worst parts (journal, timers, networkd etc.) as far as it still possible, everything else just seems unrealistic at this point. Unfortunately, that is an option missing in Tomas poll. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
