I didn't read the whole thread :( The suggestion of adding a DependenciesPartOf=yes|no directive to target units is a good suggestion IMO and solves this same problem too (if I understand correctly - the target can just add a Requires= check for each accordingly, e.g. xfce.target can Require=g-s-d.service quite happily) Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/ _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
