None of the systems running here have been infected with systemd yet. Yet to be determined is its effect on IRQ latency, and the realtime software I run demands figures in the 2 to 4 microsecond category if doing software pulse generation for stepper motors. Otherwise it takes a $90 FPGA card to do it for much faster machine moving ability. I now have LinuxCNC converted to use one of those cards on 2 of my machines. We build specially patched kernels for that, then pin them in the package-managers parlance, and run them until the wheels fall off. So the latest installed kernel here is 3.2.0-4, an AMD64 build on this machine. But on this machine it can only run the simulated machine version since it does not have the rtai patchkit applied. But that allows me to proof test code ideas from a comfy office chair. Those boxes actually running the machines are running 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae, which if I run it on this machine with its 8Gb of memory, is not PAE in fact which results in swap problems in about 24 hours up time. The machine boxes only have 2Gb of ram, and that works great, with uptimes from power bump to power bump. The spector of a systemd equipt (or infected) system has not yet arrived for this user. ;-) And from its birthing pains so vividly described on the many mailing lists, I dread the day and what effect it will have on LinuxCNC users. Another unrelated question: When are you going to set a List-id: line so that when I hit "reply to list", I don't get an empty To: line & then have to copy/paste the lists address into the the To: line before I can send the message back to the list? > On 26/08/15 08:47 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > > Heads up in case yopu haven't heard it yet. > > > > From a comment I just read on another list, slack has already > > expunged it. > > > > I would not be surprised to see other distro's follow suit. > > > > Cheers, Gene Heskett Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
