In what way are the methods not compatible with Linux on a phone?
well, I'm not saying they aren't, but I'm having doubts whether the
method of starting daemons in parallel while they all wait-and-block for
dependencies will work, and provide the speedy boot needed on low-power
devices. One of my fears is that something that needs to start early
will get pushed back by other less-important applications doing tons of
IO, or consuming CPU time etc. A major concern for smartphones.
Another major concern is that we need a sort of "charge mode" override
where the device shuts down all services and only runs enough software
to power the battery until it gets enough charge. I haven't specifically
looked at systemd enough yet to find an answer on that question yet.
still, I think systemd looks promising. I have my reservations for now
whether it's stable enough, but I'm planning to experiment with it
combined with MeeGo, and I'll certainly work with Lennert to fix issues
I can find.
