[Mageia-dev] WARNING: systemd is landing!!

Fri Jun 29 13:41:49 CEST 2012

Now that the keyboard mapping issue has been sussed, I will be
+submitting this today. You have been warned!
+
+I will, of course, be going immediately AFK for several weeks right
+after submitting, as is tradition :D
+
+But more seriously, the changes merge in udev and sysvinit stuff into
+the main systemd package. I will eventually move the units into the main
+package also, but I also need to find a way to not require the actual
+systemd binary for the chroots as it pulls in a lot of stuff and a
+minimal chroot is still desirable when the packages being build to not
+specifically need systemd. I will write more about this in due course
+(and with some suggestions for tasks to be completed before the "big
+rebuild" in order to get our specs in really good shape).
+
+
+Anyway, systemd booting is now the only way, so if you use sysvinit
+still, I'd advise not updating cauldron and discussing why you still
+need sysvinit such that I can help you transition.
+
+Cheers
