Hi, Sorry if this has been discussed to death, but I couldn't find any definitive decisions on it, so I thought I'd mention things in a fairly simple manner:
Step 1: I use OpenRC/sysvinit. Dell ~ # readlink -f /proc/1/exe /sbin/init Dell ~ # equery b /sbin/init * Searching for /sbin/init ... sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3 (/sbin/init) Step 2: There are lots of systemd service files installed. Dell ~ # ls /usr/lib/systemd/system/*.service|wc -l 21 Step 3: What on earth is installing them? Dell ~ # equery b /usr/lib/systemd/system/*.service media-libs/libcanberra-0.29 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/canberra-system-shutdown-reboot.service) media-libs/libcanberra-0.29 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/canberra-system-bootup.service) media-libs/libcanberra-0.29 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/canberra-system-shutdown.service) media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.25-r2 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/alsa-restore.service) media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.25-r2 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/alsa-store.service) net-misc/dhcpcd-5.5.6 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service) net-misc/openssh-6.0_p1-r1 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd@.service) net-misc/openssh-6.0_p1-r1 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service) net-wireless/bluez-4.101-r1 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service) net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-1.0 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service) net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-1.0 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@.service) sys-apps/dbus-1.6.4 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus.service) sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/console-kit-log-system-start.service) sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/console-kit-daemon.service) sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/console-kit-log-system-restart.service) sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/console-kit-log-system-stop.service) sys-auth/polkit-0.107 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/polkit.service) sys-fs/udev-187-r1 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-udev-trigger.service) sys-fs/udev-187-r1 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-udev-settle.service) sys-fs/udev-187-r1 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-udevd.service) sys-power/upower-0.9.17-r1 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/upower.service) Yowza! All the packages that provide systemd unit files are installing them?! But I don't even use systemd. I don't want this cruft on my system. Proposal: global USE flag for systemd, just like there's one for openrc. Thanks, Jason
