There's no relationship between Debian choosing a default init system and having native systemd support in every package that has a sysvinit script. So, as I said up-thread, should the choice be systemd or upstart, the earlier that a decision is taken, the better in order to iron out any problems. > Even if the decision was made in February/March/April would this imply > going into Jessie with a new init system is a realistic possibility? Why not? Have you tried systemd or upstart in testing or sid? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
