Except that kFreeBSD is not a toy port. FreeBSD is a serious operating system that is used by many people in system-critical applications, which runs on modern hardware and outperforms the hell of Linux in some regards. The kFreeBSD port has some features over Linux that makes it an interesting option for some use cases, such as ZFS, jails, and more. So far, I haven't seen any features in systemd that outweigh those. And the fact that upstream is lazy and doesn't want to do this portability thing shouldn't mean we should throw out our other ports. -- The volume of a pizza of thickness a and radius z can be described by the following formula: pi zz a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
