I think eventually though we are going to have to monitor and see where the discussion is going. Debian is an important distro for us and we should make sure that we continue to be the default. I think we need to make sure that people understand why we are depending on logind and why it is a bad idea to have to support every init out there. Now if the Debian team wants to take on that task, so be it. But this doesn't seem like the right thing to do. It's best to try to get people on the same level and convince Debian that logind is the right technology and that we don't want to support anaything else at least on Linux kernel based distros. > Also I trust the Debian GNOME team with their decisions, and they know > how to reach us if necessary. I prefer to work with them on this, if only to know how the conversation is going. Debconf will be in Portland this year and so I will be there. It will be important to know what's going on before going amongst people there. sri > > > Fred > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team > Release-team lurker?
