So what I'd like is a POSIX system with a Linux kernel and Gnu userspace. Bitching and moaning aside, what the article describes from 'homed' is already accomplished using 'autofs'. This is another case of SystemD subsuming some satisfactory subsystem. Why?
I confess that I didn't follow all the details of the rest of users defined in JSON. Nothing wrong with JSON, which I've already demonstrated (for a work project) can be converted to/from line-at-a-time definitions such as existing /etc/passwd. I get a strong sense that someone just dislikes the historical Unix way of defining and doing. It seems to have started with INIT, for which many already disliked the SysV scripts (I did not) and grown from there. Hmmm ... come to think of it, something which grows and grows and invades other organs (er, uh, subsystems) ... that's a cancer. For me, it's not about the learning curve. This stuff breaks whatever interoperability existed between "Linux" and the other systems. BSD ain't Linux, but it's Unix. (I run it just to stretch my envelop.) No StD there. Devuan would be fine. I don't care for their packaging, but I lean on Chicory anyway, and it's transparent to Devuan/Debian. No StD there either. NORD barely exists, but does serve as the base for some real live systems. It would be viable if more than one guy was doing it. Again, StD-free. Dear God, please help. -- R; <>< On 4/30/20 11:44 AM, Robert J Brenneman wrote: > [deepest sarcasm voice] > > excuse me, but the system you refer to as Linux is actually a SystemD > system with a Linux kernel and GNU userspace. > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 11:21 AM Luciano Mannucci <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> On Thu, 30 Apr 2020 14:42:33 +0000 >> David Boyes <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> somebody please make it stop >>> >>> +1. >> Devuan on S/360? >> Freebsd? >> >> Luciano. >> -- >> /"\ /Via A.
