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.
Last year that was not a problem. (And I'm also not advertising upstart.)
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.
I did not propose that, that would be complete nonsense anyway.
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.
It is not compatible to launchd, systemd is only copycatting parts of launchd's design. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
