Hmm, why is that? > Because all modern desktops now need systemd so all features work. blame > upstream^w^wsend patches to upstream and Debian will have those... What they need is logind. Saying "needs systemd" for things that need logind is as hopelessly confusing as if you were to say it for things that need udev. logind itself currently needs systemd as PID 1, because systemd 208 was uploaded to unstable (and has migrated to testing) before systemd-shim has been updated for compatibility. I have already opined that I think this was a bad idea and will not belabor the point. > Really, get over it or do something. Ranting on -devel will not change > anything. There was nothing in Julian's message which was a rant, so I don't think this response is called for. He *was* doing something about a systemd integration problem that was a blocker for him - he was asking for help. If we have to go through this same sequence of messages every time someone asks on debian-devel for help with a systemd issue, it's going to be a long release cycle. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
