Fork of Systemd Leads To Lightweight Uselessd

Linux · Opensource · 2014-09-21 02:28 · posted by timothy · from the not-big-and-fancy dept. · 469 comments

An anonymous reader writes A boycott of systemd and other backlash around systemd's feature-creep has led to the creation of Uselessd, a new init daemon. Uselessd is a fork of systemd 208 that strips away functionality considered irrelevant to an init system like the systemd journal and udev. Uselessd also adds in functionality not accepted in upstream systemd like support for alternative C libraries (namely uClibc and musl) and it's even being ported to BSD.
