10 That doesn't mean anything; the format of the .service files is really
11 simple and most of them will work from systemd-1 to systemd-195.

16 No, I do not. Which service files do you need from the package? The
17 only one I needed (and wasn't included in its own package) was for
18 vixie-cron.

31 systemd "support" is generally optional, not mandatory. In other
32 words, if lightdm works with OpenRC, it will work with systemd; maybe
33 it will not integrate a lot of features from it, but it will work as
34 it works in OpenRC: as a standalone service.
35
36 I'm pretty sure a Google search will give you several instances of
37 service files for lightdm (or wathever login manager you want to use).
