I've drank the systemd kool-aid. I'd consider Guix, but I want systemd (if only just for nspawn).

- josteink 12y agoHave some dmd. Which if we can trust the FSF to deliver as usual will be to systemd like Hurd is to Linux. Really though. Haven't tried anything with dmd, but it cannot possibly be worse than SysV init.
- davexunit 12y agoSystemd just doesn't integrate well into our system. The big advantage of using dmd is that it is also written in Scheme, giving us access to all of the features and libraries that Guile has. Our initrd is also written in Scheme, giving us the same advantages. There is a GSoC proposal out there to add support for some of systemd's file formats to dmd, for interoperability (and being able to run GNOME, notably). If any student reads this and wants to hack on an init system this summer, subscribe to our mailing list or hop on #guix on freenode and let us know.
- digi_owl 12y ago>and being able to run GNOME, notably Should make people stand up and pay attention...
- digi_owl 12y ago>if only just for nspawn Should give pause for thought, but i guess i am expecting too much...
- SSLy 12y agoErm, well. Could you explain? I feel like I am missing some idiom here.
- digi_owl 12y agoHow much do init and nspawn have in common? People keep comparing systemd with sysv, as if they are both "just" inits. But one has grown way beyond being considered just as a init. To me at least it seems more and more that replacing init has become a sour pill people accept for getting some sugary candy elsewhere within the systemd sphere of influence.
