Every time I touch systemd, I find another bug. I never wanted to break out GDB to manage my freaking init.d scripts. * Error in `systemctl': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007f26ef8089c0

You are not alone.. after playing around for some hours with CentOS7/RHEL7: https://i.imgur.com/sCiqS2O.png https://i.imgur.com/sCiqS2O.png - The bug is fixed now (nmtui: changing the hostname crashed all of NetworkManager...) now I'm always a little scared when using a freedesktop.org project ;)

  Look for the names Lennart Poettering, Kay Seivers, and Ulrich Drepper amongst the fd.o project's developers. If you see them, avoid the project. As 90 percent of freedesktop.org projects do not include these developers, you're probably safe, but always good to be sure. The majority of developers on fd.o will happily accept and action bug reports, so don't let these bad apples spoil you on the rest of the bunch.

    I'm tired of that name calling. These are just bugs. All these projects fix bugs and honestly I'm personally glad for the work they've done. I don't like their attitude or some design choices but I also lack knowledge. I wouldn't be able to write these software and my complain is mainly a lack of thorough testing. Using C for all these things makes debugging not exactly easier.

      Just curious, but what names did I call them? Is using their names not allowed? I recognize your nick from systemd's forums and IRC channel. Nice to see you here defending your favorite project.

Keep filing bugreports! If they're not responded to in an appropriate amount of time, please send a message to the systemd mailing list.

  And make sure to reopen them when they're inevitably marked WONTFIX, and post the bug report on reddit/HN to shame them into fixing it.

    > And make sure to reopen them when they're inevitably marked WONTFIX Bugzilla is public, the bug changes are also public. Show me that this is a trend. You said it is "inevitably marked WONTFIX", I say you're making stuff up. You raise this, you prove it. Good luck!

      You're clearly not paying attention to the "debug" issue in the kernel. Bug was created on FD.o's bugzilla, Kay Seivers labelled it WONTFIX and closed the bug in systemd. This wasn't the first time, either, but I'll leave that as an exercise for you. Simply look at what bugs in systemd/pulseaudio are closed as WONTFIX. It's a simple query. Also, I recognize your nick from the SystemD IRC and forums. Nice to see you stopping by to defend your favorite project.
