erm, http://www.google.co.jp/search?q=openbsd+systemd And I'm deliberately not just linking one or three items because working through the links that search brings up is probably one of the best ways to get a really sharp focus on just exactly what the arguments over systemd are all about. (Buried in there is a clue that is probably about as important as any: Does openbsd use sysvinit or upstart or something else?) If the vicissitudes of linkage lose the stuff about GSOC, just add it to the search terms: http://www.google.co.jp/search?q=openbsd+systemd+gsoc >> Whether the student who decided to take on the modularization of >> systemd, to break all the gratuitous dependencies, succeeds or not, >> it's clear that this is another of the messes we've created here in >> Linuxland that they are going to try to help us clean up. > > I seem to recall having read (I think here on this list) that it's been > explicitly stated by systemd upstream that patches to make the "core > components" not depend on one another will not be accepted. The openbsd team has no qualms about forking and/or replacing stuff that is contrary to good engineering principles. The modularization they are working on is for their own use. It will still likely be a very useful starting point for the debian devs, when they get the ambition. -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
