Bug#931858: libreswan: please remove the dependency on systemd
Package: libreswan
Version: 3.27-6
Severity: normal
Hi Stephen,
Thanks. that is a good step. It would be nice to remove the build time
dependency too.
On Fedora we can do something like the following.
make UNITDIR=%{_unitdir} TMPFILESDIR=%{_tmpfilesdir} INITSYSTEM=systemd base
if there is Debian equivalent, to get UNITDIR, in "rules" we can drop build
time dependency to systemd.
upstream export UNITDIR since

Package: libreswan Version: 3.27-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, The libreswan binary package has a strict dependency on systemd; is it necessary? It makes libreswan painful to install in containers... Would it be possible to drop the dependency?
