Re: how to remove libsystemd0 from a live-running debian desktop system
adam, i apologise for not being in a position to reply in-thread: as
mentioned previously i tried (via gmane) but the entire discussion is
completely missing, and i forgot to ask people in the original post to
cc me if they would like an ongoing threaded reply.
i also notice that you removed debian-user, so for those people on
that list who (like me) were completely unaware of the fantastic work
that you've done, here is a link to the archives containing what you
wrote:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/02/msg00189.html
all i can say is, HOORAY! and thank you for doing properly what i
only hinted at was possible. i wish i had known of what you've done,
even a few days ago. i would have:
(a) not have had to mess up my system
(b) would not have written the slashdot report
(c) would not have heard from so many people who have put links to my
report onto their site
(d) not been in a position to further advocate your fantastic work (to them)
so... actually.. if you think about it, it's a good thing.
if you don't mind i'm going to contact several people who maintain web
sites and lists in order to have them add your work to them.
which should help answer the question you asked: your work - fantastic
as it is - was *impossible to find*. it doesn't even remotely come up
on the radar of queries. *nobody knows what you've achieved* and
that's something i would like to help correct.
now, exactly as you, i and russ point out, the next phase is to do
dynamic library loading. i'm absolutely delighted to note that you
have a handle on this, already, and i see you make it clear that
you've thought it through already.
i plan to write directly to the systemd developers, taking at face
value the recent announcement that they listen to users. is there
anything that you would recommend in particular that i include?
well done, and thank you for making my hacks completely irrelevant in
under 24 hours.
l.
