Subject: [gentoo-user] gentoo-systemd-only deprecation
Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2013 03:22:02 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADPrc80HJhCqMWiY1PrGByxp-1D6w3pZacv+gW9MUU_Va3aiaQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
William Hubbs closed bug #409385[1] as fixed, introducing
virtual/service-manager and adding it to the @system set, and dropping
OpenRC from baselayout's post dependencies.
Therefore, as of today, anyone can have a Gentoo machine with only
systemd, with no OpenRC installed. Since that was the raison d'être of
the gentoo-systemd-only overlay[2], I'm deprecating it soon.
If you install dracut you will also pull sysvinit (it's needed for
killall5, IIRC), and installing baselayout (instead of
systemd-baselayout) will make orphans of some systemd configuration
files (like /etc/vconsole.conf and /etc/machine-info); but I consider
those only minor problems, and I would strongly recommend to *anyone*
using my gentoo-systemd-only overlay to drop it and use the official
mechanism in the tree to install only systemd, replacing completely
OpenRC.
Also, without OpenRC we don't have /etc/init.d/functions.sh , but you
can use the alternatives provided in my overlay or in bug #373219[3].
I'm pretty sure someone will close that bug pretty soon.
Basically, systemd is now a first class citizen in Gentoo (on par with
OpenRC), and therefore there is no need at all for using my overlay.
Thanks to all the people who helped me with pull requests and
comments; the deprecation of the overlay is great news, since now it's
officially possible in Gentoo to ditch OpenRC and switch completely to
systemd.
Regards.
