The overall idea is that now in Devuan ASCII you can choose to use either the elogind or the consolekit backend. Basically, these three packages: - libpolkit-backend-1-0-elogind - libpolkit-backend-1-0-systemd - libpolkit-backend-1-0-consolekit all Provide: libpolkit-backend-1-0. The elogind backend comes in two falvours, either a "systemd" or an "elogind" version. *None* *of* *the* *two* actually requires systemd, and both use the elogind daemon. The difference is that the former still needs to be compiled against libsystemd0, while the latter does not. The consolekit backend comes in just one flavour, and does not depend on libsystemd0 either. Long story short: Andreas, Hleb, and Svante have managed to implement the proposal of disentangling the session management stuff from hard systemd deps, allowing to use either consolekit or elogind in Devuan. This means that all the fancy desktop stuff, including reboot/shutdown/suspend/automount and whatnot, shoud work out of the box for all the major (and minor) desktop systems available in Devuan. And in fact it does, with several combinations of those backends and different session managers. More news will follow soon. Expect some bumps, but don't lose your faith: there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel ;) HTH KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - Devuan -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
