 of open RC bugs having systemd at their core must start

 solving the problems.

 So everyone should be trying their best to find the bugs
 to prove systemd is as good|bad as they claim it is.
 Nobody that cares about Debian wants Jessie to be
 released with undiscovered serious flaws.  Let's use our
 keyboards to launch test cases in preference to soapbox
 rhetoric that likely proves nothing.

 Let's let the code speak for itself for a while.

Hi!

After a week of tests, I realized that `systemd-journal` is not ready
for prime time.

A lot of times, it consumes 100% of CPU, making the system almost unusable.

Debian Jessie should not activate `systemd-journal` by default (for
logging), even when with systemd = PID1.

Best,
Thiago

Unreproducible. Could you please give more details about your setup?

Excellent. What's the reproducible method of causing this outcome, and 
which Debian (or upstream) bug number is associated with your findings?

Dam'it, we must get rid of X.


1. X isn't an init system, it's not running as PID 1 and is not 
essential on a Debian machine.


2. As far as I know, X developers never openly declared their intention 
to transform Linux into an entirely different OS and radically change 
the way every distribution works.


3. There's no alternative to X so far, but there are several 
alternatives to systemd, and one of them has worked perfectly well for 
most people until the present day.

What's wrong with good enough?

Seriously, nowhere, in all the discussions of systemd, have I seen a 
significant number of people - other than those directly or indirectly 
associated with systemd - stand up and say we really, really, need a 
new init system, nor have I seen any upstream developers, except those 
associated with GNOME, making strong statements about how something 
other than systemd is really necessary for their package.  And I 
specifically haven't heard anything from the important server-side 
packages (databases, VM environments, mail servers, list managers, and 
so forth) other than, oh yeah, I guess we have to write systemd scripts.


Admittedly, my focus is server-side only, and I don't follow every 
software projects in the world, and I could be wrong.  But... has 
anybody systematically collected input regarding init system 
requirements and/or systemd vs. sysvinit, from either upstream 
developers or server sys admins?  If so, please point to it.  So far, 
all the push has come from proponents of systemd, and all the 
substantive discussion has been among the distro/package maintainer 
community.

I really doubt that it indicates anything like that. There are more 
reasons why people start working on alternatives than just the perceived 
inadequacy of existing solutions. The world is full of programmers, you 
know, and every minute or so a new young programmer feels the urge to 
demonstrate to the world how great he is and starts reinventing the wheel.


If you look at the history of software development you will find that 
the same pattern repeats itself over and over again. In the beginning, 
there is a need for something that doesn't exist yet. Then someone 
starts programming it. His solution will at first be buggy and lacking 
features. Then it will get better, and at some point it will do its job 
very well and to the entire satisfaction of the users. That's the point 
when programmers should stop working on that thing except for bug fixes 
and such. But that never happens. Instead they will start looking for 
more and more features to add, because the project has become an 
important part of their lives and their favourite passtime. And new 
programmers will appear and start changing things or restart from 
scratch, because they know better. And in the end you will always have 
one or more bloated and unstable monsters and disappointed users. I 
guess everyone here can name examples of that.

Well, yes and no.

After 3 - 4  years of development, i trust the developers of systemd to 
produce, more or less, a sufficient's quality software.


That's not the point. From the technical point of view, IMO, you are

Again, IF it was only an init daemon/software/plumb ( you name it ), 
which anyone could ditch it painless ( meaning A - B AND B - A 
painless ... ), for whatever reason technical/personal 
preference/political, then by no means, make it default, make it a flag,

It pollutes my favorite OS's ecosystem, doesn't stay only with the

There are legal considerations pertaining to global
software redistribution, of course.  There are
financial considerations beyond Debian's licensing
and support fees, to be sure, but those and other
categories of non-technical considerations are entirely
outside of the Debian organization as I see it--they
are user considerations.  The Social Contract guides
the Debian process but defining what is best for
the users can be difficult because most users do not
interact with the developers.  It is clear from the
TC ruling there was considerable concern the change
of default init needed to be handled very carefully,
a concern almost entirely based upon how the change
can adversely affect existing users.

Note the Debian team does not force anyone to use
Debian but often expends effort to improve Debian
from the point of view of some large percentage of
the users with a lot of effort invested in providing
a distribution that is useful to an unusually wide
range of users.

Multi-init support is an oft-stated and highly
desirable goal for Jessie.  Report any software
behavior that hinders that as a bug at the earliest
opportunity.  That's the most likely way to effect
the change you seek.

 Is that sufficiently clear?

What kind of a question is that?

 So the universe is not quite as you thought it was.
  You'd better rearrange your beliefs, then.
  Because you certainly can't rearrange the universe.

Heh.

How To Prove Systemd Can|Cannot Be Jessie Default

2014-10-22 Thread David L. Craig
There is only one way the default init for Jessie can
be changed at this point in time--the Release Team
must conclude systemd will have turned out to be a
release critical nightmare likely well into the feature
freeze.  There is only one way for that to happen--lots
of open RC bugs having systemd at their core must start
piling up as the upstream developers are having problems
solving the problems.

So everyone should be trying their best to find the bugs
to prove systemd is as good|bad as they claim it is.
Nobody that cares about Debian wants Jessie to be
released with undiscovered serious flaws.  Let's use our
keyboards to launch test cases in preference to soapbox
rhetoric that likely proves nothing.

Let's let the code speak for itself for a while.

I've not had many problems with systemd excepting my firewall, Shorewall, 
failed to
start when booting up. It still started with: 'shorewall start' on the command
line so that was alright with me.

Systemd or something tried to put another firewall on my computer called Pyroman
but it could not start at the boot, and always generated an error message to
this effect. It is quite inferior to shorewall anyway, so I removed it. The
developer or maintainer of Shorewall has now succeeded in returning Shorewall to
the old configuration. After booting up the other day I ran 'shorewall start' 
and
the message came back: shorewall was already running.

Is that your idea of letting the code speak for itself?
