Re: [Trisquel-users] About systemd

Isn't this whole "Unix Philosophy" more of a relic from a time when procedural programming was all that we had? With the merits of object oriented programming, it is possible for a program to consist of many loosely coupled components that to mainly one job and do it right, without breaking

Re: [Trisquel-users] About systemd

It's pretty obvious and simple why it is the case. In most languages I'm aware of, you can't easily (if at all) conditionally include libraries. You have to include the library and depend on that. So systemd offers a way to check how much of systemd is actually installed in a part of its

[Trisquel-users] Re : About systemd

The question is for CalmStorm then. Well, it actually is rhetorical: packages that do not use any functionality that systemd provides do not depend on it. And, of course, we are far from having "every package dependent on systemd". Of the 20k or so packages in Debian Jessie, a few depend

There are claims in one or two threads that an alpha release is available, at this link: http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/ However, trying to follow it leads to an error. Since there is also a thread asking for help with 8.0 release, I'm guessing that it must be available for

Right. But there are alternatives such as OpenRC and GNU Shepherd.

[Trisquel-users] Re : About systemd

Sure. It is only a matter of defining a variable in a configuration file (Trisquel's defaults can be different from Debian's): First of all, systemd-resolved is not used and enabled by default. If you actually do use systemd-resolved, disabling the fallback DNS server(s) is trivial. Either
