Yay, we finally agree! \o/ So are you saying that you agree that the original statement that "systemd cannot not be installed in Jessie" was accurate, because current testing is jessie? Because that's what we/I've been saying all along, and it's what the post you're responding to said - but it's also what John Hasler's original response (with which you seemed to agree) seemed to reject. Back when I was, say, five years old, it would have been perfectly accurate for someone to say of me that "[myname] cannot jump high enough to touch the ceiling.", because I could not. Today, that statement would be less than completely accurate, because I can easily jump high enough to touch a standard 8- or 9-foot ceiling. It's the same statement, and it still refers to me, by my name - but it's not the same me in both cases, because I've changed in the meantime. In exactly, the same way, it is currently accurate to say that "systemd cannot not be installed in Jessie", in reference to current testing... ...even if it may no longer be accurate to say that after jessie is released as stable. It's the same statement in both cases, and it still refers to jessie, by name - even if jessie changes in the meantime. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
