- It's nice you can install it next to sysv-init. This makes it really easy to test without breaking the system.
You can do this? I might try it out. If it works as expected in its stage of development, I'll quick being a jerk about it. Also, how does that work? Do you choose an init at some point?
- If you installed vala 0.10, systemd-git won't build, even though gtk is disabled. This is a bug in the configure script of systemd. Solution would be either to install vala-0.11 or remove vala from your system.
I'm confused by this. Do you mean that vala's conflicting something out of the system or just causing a breakage in some way?
- I guess the initscripts-systemd is listed as an optional dependency of systemd, but I'm not sure how usefull systemd is without it...?
Though I don't 100% know how systemd is, don't all init systems need scripts to be useful? I would think that installing systemd's initscripts would be important for it to do its work.
- The login console seems to be slightly messed up. I can login, but error/log messages keep being send to the terminal as well.
What are the messages? Is there a bug in the bug tracker about this or is this purely an upstream concern?
- I know how I can change the default target on the boot line, but can I set it anywhere else?
Is that how you would run one init system over another?
- sshd has listed network.service as a dependency, but what if you use NetworkManager instead?
Would this be cause for a seperate set of daemon scripts just for systemd or are there plans to make it work with rc.conf in much the same way SysV does?
