Not as far as I am aware.
I'm not 100% familiar with the nitty-gritty of this, but it forced the Devuan folks to fork Debian rather than just remove some packages and install others. Obviously if the solution did not require altering the source code of some of the existing packages (including GNOME ones AFAICR) - nobody would have gone and forked a distro.
- viraptor 5y agoThey need to repackage at least the user and system service packages which in Debian now carry .service files rather than other init configuration.
- kaba0 5y agoSince the decision made by Debian was that systemd will be the only supported init system, they had to fork to maintain alternative versions of packages depending on the init system, so I don’t think it’s fair to say it is on GNOME.
