They don't have control over the dependencies in packages and distributions they don't own though; so, for them to be listed as a dependency goes a long way. I think that for most packages in the Portage tree there is a large enough chain of dependencies between the package and systemd such that one can always avoid having to install systemd. But we're not there and I think we will never be there, because systemd is not often listed as a dependency (only on ~2 or so GNOME packages?) compared to something like ncurses that is listed all over the place... --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/3+UbTRJrxlAccZcXg.FBIzP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSo0xoAAoJEJWyH81tNOV9JtYIAKVJJJRh65FFj/H2tlp2NmNl 5UXC9600hjNb1TKRr/7M6ZKOrdRWXNc3kLD8JKPfe3p8zVoxoI4pSGH8KX37gD/A 67FB0o78rhCdFf4HG+sATtJGoLbdZF6ploeKusFZ7xzP4NaKJzOWJb2o7RTjygja cJzDRAnyIsI9QlZnOlE2/h3j4jBf5SLnKkWoZnEz20m5Ig1d4LKE7ARAalSy3M0v HXsB93Pvn8/MXn3E4KQnVYsDNZrkbTPHK3bemkQSHq1qeeyirXs7oyAwFZ0WcmCs qNH7yb1S4jK3tVRz8ovtUgBhW+PtMaYoyKsixmKy8EjNDpMAN7yzs8yp9MWHgNk= =5eXm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/3+UbTRJrxlAccZcXg.FBIzP--
