Ubuntu is maintaining a variety of moderately fragile glue in order to make this happen and currently can't upgrade to the current version of logind. This strategy clearly causes some problems for Ubuntu and would cause some similar problems for us. I think everyone agrees that it's *possible*, but my point is that it's increased work that we otherwise wouldn't have to incur. > And having them standalone and not as part of the big systemd bundle > makes it much easier to ship an older version of udev and/or logind in a > release if that avoids upgrade headaches. This proven false by the way that Debian already handles gcc, many library transitions, and multiple other packages where we build different components from different versions for backwards-compatibility reasons. This is not difficult to handle at the packaging layer if we need to do it. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
