Hi Rob.
Thank you for your repy.

Sure, why not.
Sorry this is taking so long. I started a new job a couple weeks back,
and it's away from home so there was travel and apartment hunting and
visiting nearby relatives before that.
Finally catching up a bit, and then I was sick all last night. (I have
four nieces and nephews. There are four active strains of flu. I expect
each of them to give me one, but this was probably just something I
ate.)

I didn't digged very deep yet, but it's appears to me, that both of
them eat
dynamic hw events and apply them to the dependency tree, if it brings
boot
closer to the "goal" (i.e. runlevel). Like - "Oh, we got net device.
You want
apache running, right? Let's then start net first and let's see where
it will
bring us". Something like that, plus systemd reimplemented xinetd in
own way.
But there is a great possibility, that i'm misinterpreted things
somehow.
I know systemd is a horrible hairball that sucks in a dozen different
daemons into one big interdependent mess. I'm hoping it dies with
desktop Linux and Android does something completely different.
I'm currently cutting a bugfix release because cp -Rn checks the
initial target directory, notices it's there, and doesn't overwrite
it... or recurse into it. (Oops. This means aboriginal can't collate
the simple-root-filesystem and native-compiler, the result is just
simple-root-filesystem with a couple files removed by the prep script.
And _this_ is why I do native test builds).
While I'm there I have a few other pending things that are nearly done
anyway: new time command, some id fixups that let me do groups as a
wrapper around id -Gn which oddly enough is what LSB says to do... I'm
actually partway through implementing "test" but dunno if that should
wait until next time.
Then I really need to finish mount and umount, and then I can take a
look at init.
Thanks,
Rob
