For example, it seems that instead of /etc/init.d and /etc/runlevels we have services. After running emerge --changed-use --deep @world must I check that every entry previously in /etc/init.d now has an entry in /usr/lib/systemd/system? What do I do if there is no corresponding entry? Similarly, the wiki talks about some configuration files (e.g. /etc/hostname replacing /etc/conf.d/hostname). But what about all the other files in /etc/conf.d? Do I just copy them to /etc? In summary I would hope that we get an introductory document (a simple conversion guide) as a pre-read before the wiki. The problem is not the wiki, but my lack of the prerequisite knowledge.

As I said to András, you have the wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd > Is there a compelling reason to switch now? Well, as stated earlier, ConsoleKit is basically abandonware. Samuli mentions "contingency plans" for when CK is no longer an option, but all and any of those paths will be playing catching up with systemd. The standards are now being defined by systemd. And, of course, there are those of us who believe that systemd is in fact a much better option than OpenRC (or any other init system). Thanks to the efforts of people like Fabio Erculiani, right now is kinda easy to switch back and forth between systemd and OpenRC. In Sabayon (a Gentoo derivative) you can actually choose at boot time wich init to use. I would say try it now, when it is relatively easy to switch.

KDE / systemd user here. Currently I have to put "-consolekit" into /etc/portage/profile/use.force to get rid of ConsoleKit because USE=+consolekit is forced for some packages in default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde profile, not matter what you set in make.conf. And systemd is blocking consolekit package. I consider use.force a deviation from the official and fully supported way. Maybe Gentoo devs can resolve it? Those 3 packages are: sys-auth/pambase-20120417-r2 USE="(consolekit*) kde-base/kdm-4.10.5-r1:4 USE="(consolekit*) net-wireless/bluez-4.101-r5 USE="alsa (consolekit*)

Do you have systemd enabled? I mean USE="systemd". What is going to happen if my system does not have consolekit? What do you mean? ConsoleKit is used mainly to recognize if you are a local user or not. If you don't have ConsoleKit OR systemd-logind, then nothing will recognize you are a local user and anything using PolicyKit like for example, networkmanager or your desktop's shutdown/restart functionality, or automounting by file manager, won't succeed without root password because then nothing is telling PolicyKit the user is local and fallback to root is applied. For example, if you don't have sys-auth/consolekit installed then xfce-base/xfce4-session will fallback to using `sudo` for authorization on shutdown/reboot But some functionality have no fallback like this at all, so if aiming for systemd-less and ConsoleKit-less system, you have to know what is what... I hope that clarifies instead of complicates :P

Re: [gentoo-user] systemd - are we forced to switch?
ConsoleKit is for all practical purposes unmaintained, and all of the packages you mentioned it support systemd just fine. Emerge systemd, and purge CK from your system; I did that almost a year ago.

What Gnome packages does Evolution require, and do those deps pull in systemd? If no, there's no problem If yes, either live with what portage wants to do or use a different mail-client -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

[gentoo-user] systemd - are we forced to switch?
Hi, gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-3.8.4 requires systemd sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.6cannot coexist with systemd but many packages depend on sys-auth/consolekit : emerge -vpc sys-auth/consolekit gives sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320-r2 pulled in by: gnome-base/gnome-session-3.8.2.1-r1 requires sys-auth/consolekit gnome-base/gnome-shell-3.8.3-r1 requires sys-auth/consolekit kde-base/kdm-4.10.5 requires sys-auth/consolekit net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.8.2-r2 requires sys-auth/consolekit net-wireless/bluez-4.101-r5 requires sys-auth/consolekit sys-apps/accountsservice-0.6.34 requires sys-auth/consolekit sys-auth/pambase-20120417-r2 requires >=sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p2012[pam] sys-auth/polkit-0.111 requires sys-auth/consolekit[policykit] x11-apps/xdm-1.1.11-r3 requires sys-auth/consolekit x11-misc/slim-1.3.5-r2 requires sys-auth/consolekit So, what to do?
