FYI, there's also a hint at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/systemd.txt. snip I don't need any more rants like Why the hell would I want systemd/dbus/libcap/expat/whatever on my system - It's your system your rules man, no one ever said I want to put these instructions in the book. Just a howto for people who want to try Systemd (and maybe profit). I understand Bruce's (and other's) objections to Systemd; I shared a lot of them for a while too. However, I'm now starting to sway over to the Dark Side (TM) myself. I'm considering creating a Systemd branch of LFS, and don't mind maintaining that alongside the mainline, sysvinit, trunk of LFS. Whether or not it will ever get merged, I'm not sure, but I certainly think that Systemd is mature enough that having it available in the form of a full version of the book, that can be built automatically via jhalfs, will help people try it out for themselves.

The instructions follow LFS BOOK versioned SVN-20130125 with additions
from BLFS BOOK versioned 2013-01-26.
Packages are installed in same order as alwas, mentioned versions were
used without any modifications to the LFS book ones. I did some
diversions and I've mentioned them below.
Packages were added in specified place for a reason, I think I explained
it for attr, acl and libcap2.
Howto starts from Chapter 6, assuming everything else has been done as
before.

msgfmt, msgmerge and xgettext binaries from gettext package - I've
installed all binaries from gettext in temporary stage so I can't
confirm. I do remember that I had some problems with this in the past)

acl 2.2.51
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/acl.html (This one

Shadow and Systemd might benefit from it as well from libcap2).

for it from this package)

Only difference now is that --without-systemdsystemunitdir becomes

--with-console-auth-dir=/run/console/ \
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system \
--disable-systemd \
--disable-static
--disable-systemd is still there because Systemd requires D-Bus and
D-Bus requires Systemd for certain functionality only. It does not see
any use in LFS since it uses logind which we will disable in lfs because
it would need PAM to work like it should.
D-Bus should be recompiled in BLFS for dbus-launch binary with Xorg
Libraries as dependency and --disable-systemd should be removed there
after Systemd has been fully rebuilt for BLFS (Including PAM and some
other deps like Glib and G-I for GUdev and so on).

Journald appears to look for adm group, so add it (gid is reserved in

This is a nice piece of work. Could I ask you to reformat it slightly
in accordance with http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/sample-hint.txt
and we can put it in the hints section of the web site.
