Well, other than the necessary build power I am not aware of any limitation in this area. Please fell free to educate me.
Well, I'll not try that, but everybody else probably would have a lot of fun if I did start the effort with for i in `osc ls openSUSE:Factory`; do case $i in systemd*) continue;; *) ;; esac osc linkpac openSUSE:Factory $i home:seife:factory-nosystemd done
Based on the experience I have with OBS there is nothing in the way for me to set up a subproject in my HOME and build all of openSUSE, create iso images from it etc. I can maintain patches that add sysV init support in the project and do whatever. There may of course be issues that I am not aware of as I have never attempted anything at that scale. Again, please share your knowledge.
If the weather is bad on the weekend, I might actually try. But I fear that I'll pull the wrath of all other OBS users on me and I'd not consider this a fair and good use of the shared resources.
Proclaiming that statements are "lies" is not very constructive.
Yes, "lie" was the wrong word. But I still consider this impractical, since right now 603 packages depend on systemd, and almost all depend on systemd-rpm-macros, so it is nothing that you can "just fix" by replacing the "faulty" component. Probably, instead of wasting the build service resources on this experiment, I'd rather try an installation of yocto built x86_64 on my spare openSUSE partition on my notebook. This will only take a few hours to build and on my private resources. Anyway, this thread has gone long past its usefulness, so I'll stop responding here, I just wanted to confirm that I'm with you on the assessment of my usage of the word "lies" :-) Best regards, Stefan -- 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
