Hi,
As development group maintainer I start to see requests (mostly from Cristian Rodriguez) that remove sysvinit, xinetd support completely from packages and also remove syslog dependencies.
What is the current status?
Is the total sysvinit removal and total xinetd removal now fact and the future plan?
The functionality of xinetd that is currently used by packages is now provided by systemd, I do not aim at removing it, just not providing packages with xinetd configuration files, so we can remove xinetd from the default installation.
Removing dependencies on syslog allow us to run with the journal only.
That still doesnt mean you can remove the files. what about people who want to keep using sysvinit+xinetd? we just drop their support files because you dont need it anymore? Funnily ... the rsync package e.g. does not even require xinetd! But as a sysvinit user i get forced to install systemd just for using rsync. maybe we should rip out that requires so we dont force packages on people? darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
