Great article, I should merely point out it's ridiculous that people get |
| 30 |
so bent out of shape over computer software. It contrasted the |
| 31 |
transition of devfs to udev well which I can relate to and thought of in |
| 32 |
my previous response. I was trying to explain I don't really know enough |
| 33 |
about either systemd or openrc to say whether or not support for one or |
| 34 |
the other will ever be dropped. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
My deal is I have everything I want setup, it works and I want to leave |
| 37 |
it that way. I deal with security problems and updates proactively and |
| 38 |
on a case-by-case and as-per-needed basis. I'm not looking forward to |
| 39 |
migrating to systemd if I don't need to but I will if that's what it |
| 40 |
takes to get back to my real work with the peace of mind that I can |
| 41 |
still install new software if I choose to and actually be able to use it. |
