The problem is it's not one package. In the name of systemd, the whole system is being redesigned and reworked in order to make the other options stop working. I've found numerous cases where changes have been done to other packages that don't help systemd and systemd systems at all but only break non-systemd systems. And then I keep reading these "if you want to provide an alternative, you are welcome to do so" appeals. It's frustrating and I really feel like I'm being mocked on purpose.
Even though I'm generally in favour of systemd, I have to agree with Michal on this: this makes it e.g. almost impossible for me to use openSUSE on embedded / ARM, because I want to use the same system on all my embedded boards and I have boards that cannot run systemd. Apart from that systemd has the problem that it just boots much too slow on embedded systems that are not from 2014 due to its huge memory and CPU footprint. So no openSUSE for me on ARM, fortunately the yocto project fits just fine for my needs, and it can easily be built even for x86_64 :-) But the premise "you can just maintain your own non-systemd distribution on OBS" is IMO a plain lie, unless you really want to imply everyone should build *everything* of the distribution in his $HOME project. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
