Hello Richard,
Trying to improve the documentation about the selection of the init
system, I'm jumping back to this old conversation, following a change
that you made (https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/poky/message/12760).

not sure why i never noticed this before, but i started a new
project from the poky layer (not OE), and realized that poky.conf
explicitly sets:
INIT_MANAGER = "sysvinit"
which can't be overridden in my local.conf. if i want systemd, i guess
i can initialize my project from the OE layer, and i also notice that
i could use poky-altcfg.conf.
but is there a reason that the default poky-based project fixes
INIT_MANAGER to "sysvinit". perhaps just for simplicity?
poky defaults to sysvinit.
poky has poky-alt distro fi you want to use say systemd
But why not setting INIT_MANAGER with "?=" instead of "=" in poky.conf?
This way, we could just override INIT_MANAGER from local.conf.
I checked that the generated system works. This would make things easier
to document, unless I'm missing other reasons.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers
Michael.
