It's optional and has to be enabled... systemd is a suite of programs not just an init system...

  Wasn't that originally how dbus was and is now required?

    So you're telling me a dependency on an entire framework/server for IPC is comparable to a small NTP client...
    • jimktrains2 11y ago
      No, I'm telling you that once optional things have a way of becoming less optional.

        dbus is a server which applications use to talk to each other. Lots of applications started using it because it served their needs. dbus integration makes things go smoother since everybody else is already using it. The systemd NTP client is just another NTP client like any other you'd install. What could possibly make other parts of the system require that this specific service is running when it doesn't interact with applications?

          This seems to suggest you don't even need dbus daemon running to have things working: https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/docs/systemd-dependencies.html https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/docs/systemd-dependenc... just using the library doesn't seem bad to me...
