[gentoo-user] banshee installation without systemd

2014-02-23 Thread Fox

Hello,
after reading the thread about systemd somebody mentioned sys-fs/eudev. 
I decided used because I had systemd only to used udev and unmerge systemd.


Now I can't use Banshee which I use as my music player because of the 
next dependency tree:


banshee
- gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon
- sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration
- sys-apps/systemd

and systemd can't be used because it conflicts with eudev.

Is there anyway to avoid emerge systemd in this case?

Thank you,
Quim

Knowing the exact versions in the dependency chain would be useful.

gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.x and 3.10.x have the (quite
unsupported) openrc-force USE flag. Set it, and it will force gsd to
be used with OpenRC, so you don't need to depend on systemd.

Be aware, this is totally unsupported; from
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:

gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon:openrc-force - Skip systemd
dependency (#480336), enabling this flag will become your setup to be
fully unsupported by upstream and downstream Gnome team. Do not try to
enable it unless completely needed

So, if something breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Regards.

Ok, thanks for the advise.
