Fork of Systemd Leads To Lightweight Uselessd

Posted by timothy on from the not-big-and-fancy dept.

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.

    Good to see the udev functionality being removed. Not only was its functionality irrelevant to the purpose of the code that subsumed it, udev apparently introduced too many other issues inappropriate for a PID=1 process.
