-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 The technical committee was asked in #762194 whether existing systems should be automatically switched to systemd during a dist-upgrade to jessie:
==== RESOLUTION ==== 0. We offer advice and make our views known (Constitution 6.1(5)): 1. The Technical Committee decision in February, selecting systemd as the default init system for Linux, should not be read as a decision that existing systems should be automatically switched to systemd. 2. The Technical Committee has been asked to decide whether existing Debian GNU/Linux systems should be automatically switched to systemd during a dist-upgrade to jessie. 3. We do not want to prejudge, interfere with, or contradict, the General Resolution process on init systems which is currently ongoing. Some of the GR options imply that automatic switching (both during upgrades, and during leaf package installations) will be necessary in at least some circumstances. 4. For the moment, we invite concrete proposals for technical changes which would arrange that 1. new jessie installations using Linux would get systemd but 2. existing installations retain their existing init system so far as possible. 5. After the result of the General Resolution is known, we intend to formally resolve the question of automatic switching of init systems. Our decision on that question will of course be consistent with the successful General Resolution option, whatever that may be. ==== END OF RESOLUTION ==== The committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the discussion of #762194.
