It's not too late to fork logind in anyway, it's down to 204 in git and |
| 32 |
then review commits from there up to current w/ the required patches |
| 33 |
Ubuntu carries for non-systemd operation (yes, logind from 204 never |
| 34 |
worked without patching either but the patches were just a lot less than |
| 35 |
what 206 would need). |
| 36 |
But nobody has been willing to do the work. It was propably for the best |
| 37 |
we didn't ever adopt it at all since it's not sane to package software |
| 38 |
you can't then keep maintained. |
