Tetromino is the expert in openrc-settingsd I think, I don't know much about it :S > > And now that GNOME 3.8 is out, the game starts over again: logind is a > hard requirement, logind is part of systemd, starting logind (which > replaces consolekit) is not that trivial as you may think (and is the > thing I started to work on anyway). > > And if this wasn't enough, it means that if you want GNOME 3.8, you > need to get logind, which may or not may get included in our udev > ebuild and if it won't, it means that you will be forced to use > systemd as device manager if you want GNOME 3.8, which is believe it > or not, the thing that Ubuntu did. Ubuntu is installing systemd to get their "udev" and "logind"... but still using upstart (with gnome 3.8 packages) But, well, I think the easiest solution would be to move to systemd and run the parts we need from it even still booting with openrc
