I appreciate the links provided here. I had found a few items on line as well. All I have read about upstart really just related to faster boot times, which isn't that big of a sell-point for me. I'm not saying I'm not opposed to faster boot times, that would just be silly. I was just pointing out that if that was all it offers, that alone wouldn't convince me to switch to upstart. However, it sounds like there is more to upstart and systemd than just faster boot times. So, thanks again for the info, Culley On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 2:42 PM, Sander Jansen <s.jansen@gmail.com> wrote:

Package upstart, create a forum thread, gather some evidence that it could be implemented easy in the archlinux and then take it too the devs. (If they would still be interested after all this 16 year old behaviour :P )
First of all what exactly needs to be done to support upstart or systemd in Arch? Packages for both exist in the AUR. Is it a drop in replacement (perhaps add a kernel boot parameter init=/path/to/upstart)? Or is it more involved than that? --Kaiting.
There's a topic (and wiki page) on the forum regarding systemd in Arch:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96316
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd
Personally, I think systemd looks pretty interesting.
