When it comes down to it, there are a lot of features that Linux has, supported from the kernel all the way down, that don't exist, even in some analogous form of functionality, in BSD. Systemd makes use of these, so of course it isn't portable to BSD, or for that matter, any other vendor version of UNIX, that doesn't have them all. I suppose a conditional compile might get around this, but lacing code with a plethora of #IFDEF statements makes it a difficult to read and therefore difficult to understand and maintain. Whether or not its a good thing that BSD doesn't have systemd is beside the point if you need certain kernel functionality that BSD doesn't supply, if your application level depends on it. Any such application, never mind systemd, is not portable to BSD. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
