We have choices, but choices have to be backed by work - which is the hard part. People who have chosen systemd have spent a lot of time making it work better and solving some real problems that other init systems have had for many years. People who want to choose SysVInit have spent a lot of time flaming people who write the code. We had a "debate" about the relative merits of the various init systems on this list some time ago. It turned out that only one of the people who were criticising systemd had actually used it, and that person wasn't making the more extreme criticisms. https://etbe.coker.com.au/2015/04/26/anti-systemd-people/ It seems that discussions of systemd attract the attention of horrible people. I felt compelled to write the above blog post after a blog post about technical issues related to systemd got a lot of hateful comments. It's quite likely that I have contributed more patches for init systems than anyone else on this list. The attitude of SysVInit fans doesn't make me inclined to spend any more effort patching that init system. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
