[kwlug-disc] What is all this about systemd?

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

And in other news ...

A Google Summer Of Code project aimed at writing a systemd replacement
for OpenBSD (because the systemd folk only care about Linux, not
POSIX, and use Linux only APIs).

"The work achieved this summer was developing replacements for the
systemd-hostnamed, systemd-localed, systemd-timedated, and
systemd-logind utilities." ... AWESOME!

And ...

"The hope is to allow for systemd-dependent components like more
recent versions of GNOME to now run on OpenBSD."

So, now, a desktop environment (Gnome) has a hard dependency on a
specific init daemon (systemd) that happens to be written exclusively
for Linux, and people are solving the issue by porting/emulating the
problem daemon on OpenBSD (systembsd).

Hmmm ...
