I would love for such a thing (and have thought about doing it myself). But as systemd's capabilities grow more and more expansive, and with its lack of modularity, it becomes harder and harder to write a replacement for it. Of course, even replacing only a piece of systemd's functionality (for example its process manager) would still be beneficial, but systemd would continue to be the only real choice for many.
- astrodust 10y agoThe way you overthrow an overlord you no longer like is by knuckling down, working hard, kicking out a replacement. This is how LibreSSL came around (http://libressl.org http://libressl.org). There's nothing especially wrong with the idea of systemd or the way it's been deployed, but if the code-base is suffering from neglect one way to fix that is to either support the core team, or barring that due to hostility, fork and/or make a work-alike.
- anonbanker 10y agowe don't want a work-alike. systemd is not necessary, as all the shims for other platforms will attest.
- astrodust 10y agoYou don't. Other people want systemd to work, to be improved, and to move things forward.
