GSOC Project Works To Emulate Systemd For OpenBSD

Posted by timothy on Sunday September 7, 2014 @09:10PM from the everyone's-idea-of-a-good-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes Through a Google Summer of Code project this year was work to emulate systemd on OpenBSD. Upstream systemd remains uninterested in supporting non-Linux platforms so a student developer has taken to implementing the APIs of important systemd components so that they translate into native systemd calls. The work achieved this summer was developing replacements for the systemd-hostnamed, systemd-localed, systemd-timedated, and systemd-logind utilities. The hope is to allow for systemd-dependent components like more recent versions of GNOME to now run on OpenBSD.

It seems most of your problems are just repeated myths about systemd. For instance http://0pointer.de/blog/projec... debunks all of them and there are numerous other sites that do likewise. While I am not a big fan of systemd, I do understand what they are trying to do and it isn't the end of the world like people want to make it out to be.
