I admit that I did not check in detail, but I was under the impression that systemd-shim only provided the systemd v204 interfaces, not the newer ones (and in particular, not the newer logind, which, it is also my impression, newer GNOME (possibly newer than is even in experimental) wants). If I am mistaken I apologize for repeating the incorrect claim. However, this was just an example. I think my larger point stands - whichever default init is picked, substantial integration work remains to be done for jessie; it will be easier to know what Policy should look like on the topic of application -> init dependencies once that integration work gets done; in order to get the bus rolling again, what policy is written *now* should concentrate on the thing that is knowable now, i.e. the requirements for smooth wheezy-jessie upgrades. zw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
