OpenWRT 14.07 RC1 Supports Native IPv6, Procd Init System

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday July 15, 2014 @03:20AM from the bofh-excuse-#3847-replacing-router-os dept.

An anonymous reader writes Release Candidate One of OpenWRT 14.07 "Barrier Breaker" is released. Big for this tiny embedded Linux distribution for routers in 14.07 is native IPv6 support and the procd init system integration. The native IPv6 support is with the RA and DHCPv6+PD client and server support plus other changes. Procd is OpenWRT's new preinit, init, hotplug, and event system. Perhaps not too exciting is support for upgrading on devices with NAND, and file system snapshot/restore so you can experiment without fear of leaving your network broken. There's also experimental support for the musl standard C library.

Re:Why not systemd? by Anonymous Coward · 2014-07-15 06:17 · Score: 0, Troll

Because everyone even suggesting systemd deserves a slow, painful death?
It is next to impossible to debug, and I prefer reinstalling my system to fixing systemd. I've been running Linux for 15 years now, including SuSE 5, Redhat 6 (Zoot), Slackware, OpenSUSE, Fedora, CentOS and I've managed to fix every problem I ever had. But systemd got me problems that I can't fix.
Also, I never had any Linux system boot up in more than a minute. Even with full disk encryption enabled. Enter systemd, i'm now having boot times of 5 minutes and up.
