All,
Arch is switching to systemd init. I don't know if this will have any impact
on TDE, but older versions have dependency conflicts due to the packages that
have been removed (heimdal from krb5, etc...) Not all systemd related, but I
wonder what other init or sysv dependent packages will need to be fixed for
systemd -- hopefully none at all, but I don't know enough to knnow.
So what do the TDE gurus say? Is there anyone building/running on a systemd
box currently? If not, what problems has anyone heard of caused by systemd (more
importantly -- and known tde specific impacts related to systemd.
Issue/No Issue? Gurus?
Fedora seems to have been using systemd by default for the last version or two;
I believe they have working Trinity packages. OpenSuSE has one (very minor)
bug filed against the KDE3/systemd combination:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2011-12/msg01977.html
Most of what systemd does is likely to be at a level of the system that's lower
than what Trinity needs to concern itself with. systemd/sysv incompatibilities
seem to be mostly at the level of init script syntax, which I don't think we need
to worry about.

identical, it's interesting to see the biases sloshing around. ;)

I don't think it was
