Right. Poettering felt the need to write ~4400 words to debunk "a few of them" about systemd. Where he numbers "a few" at 30. I call that trying too hard. > I haven't forgiven the decision to have binary logs, but apparently > systemd follows the unix way? No, it does not, and Poettering admits it in his "debunking": > Myth: systemd is a feature creep. > > Well, systemd certainly covers more ground that it used to.

The systemd way is more like Microsoft's way with service components tightly coupled to the services controller, the -- singular -- building block for the entire OS. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
