[gentoo-user] systemd

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Ok then, separate thread ;-)

I just watched this:

while I continued testing systemd in my VM.

The VM runs ~amd64, so far only a few services started (I still get my
head around how to enable/disable specific services/targets), and it
boots really fast.

I am not the ricer-kind-of-gentoo-users, but it impresses me anyway.

And I clearly see the benefits of socket-based-activation,
cgroup-control and other stuff systemd brings.

AFAI see the wiki mentioned is a starting point only.
It provides the first steps, but not much more, at least to me, right now.

There is a layman-overlay "systemd" which brings units (service-files)
to your system. AFAI understand it is still up to the user to
enable/link these files into their runlevel?

If it is that way it feels like a bit of trial-and-error to me to get my
systemd-setup doing the same things my current openrc-system does.

Especially for not-so-trivial stuff like the network settings for KVM
(bridging, TUN/TAP ...)

My approach would be to "rc-config show", take that list and try to
enable the according services within systemd.

Maybe I am completely wrong, maybe not.

I'd be happy to discuss these things with you gentoo-users.

Thanks, greets, Stefan
