That's nice for those wanting to convert to UEFI boot, however, for the majority of users *now*, you required a hack in order to boot.
There is no hack required, just a bootloader plus an initrd.
bootloader yes -- initrd is a hack to allow 1 size fits all kernels. Now you've also turned it into a place to hide initial startup and boot -- things systemd -- the supposed replacement for sysvinit, can't handle - but sysVinit could... no change was *necessary
what ? sysvinit never handled any of that at all.
as expected and designed ! nothing wrong here.. what part you still dont understand ? You can replace a DSO with an updated/improved version of *THE SAME DSO* with a compatible ABI not with some arbitrary version.
It's not that they are not binary compat -- it's that they version check.
od dear, the version check *is* an ABI check.
exactly, because that not the point, the point is to make *OUR* job easier. as developers and maintaners of a HUGE codebase.
Just quit. If that's your reason for being doing these things -- quit.
If the reason is NOT to support the users you are in the wrong business or you are working for a corrupt business. The purpose of the distros was to serve users and customers. Not sit back and make their own life easier at the expense of users. That's not a moral or ethical distro.
99.9% of our users do not recompile core functionality such as libc, the kernel or perl. what happends here is, you belong to the 0.01%, that is, you are either not the target audience or dare a I say.. a troll. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
