I finally updated; I had no problems whatsoever. I also stopped using |
| 35 |
my overlay (and will soon discontinue it); with the introduction of |
| 36 |
virtual/service-manager, it's not longer necessary to have a |
| 37 |
systemd-only (without OpenRC) machine. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
The only "special" thing I'm doing is to mask >sys-apps/systemd-204, |
| 40 |
since 205 introduced the new cgroups management code (with systemd as |
| 41 |
the only writer of the cgroups hierarchy), and it seems to cause some |
| 42 |
minor problems with logind. Other than that, it works withouth a |
| 43 |
glitch: gnome-base/gnome-3.8.0, sys-apps/systemd-204, no consolekit at |
| 44 |
all. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Then again, this is how I've been running my machines since last year. |
