That was my impression after visiting all the links Mr. Pollard posted.
But knowing the animosity that systemd has generated amongst the users
when it was forced down their throats, possibly a bit prematurely, I
came to the conclusion that the rest of the developers had exhibited
less than zero interest in yet another replacement for init.
And with redo targeted at the make users, even I might have some interest
in that. But if it changes the build environment in incompatible ways,
I'd have less interest.
ATM I bleed enough, although I am glad to do it, running the development
version of LinuxCNC on my 3 cnc machines, with a 4th one under
construction. But thats slow when, in order to finish making a part for
this Sheldon lathe which although the bed seems in good shape, has
obviously been rode hard & put away wet over the last 64 years. So I am
replacing clapped out, made of pure unobtainium screws and nuts, with
modern ball screws which will be moved by LinuxCNC of coarse, but I have
to make every piece I need from fresh steel or brass since I've searched
diligently for some on this unobtainium without success. ;-)
And that has demanded gib upgrades to my existing small lathe so it can
cut finer threads more precisely. And I have to write the G33 wrapper
software to do that. The final software is intended to be universally
shared, when its working as it will be an addition to LinuxCNC's
capabilities.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
