there's a slight misunderstanding here. |
54 |
in a previous link on this list there was gnome developer that basically |
55 |
said something like "we can't document everything that gnome uses in |
56 |
systemd/logind because the developers are ahead of us, so in case of |
57 |
difference the source code is correct". |
58 |
gnome is big. really big. |
59 |
so you'd have to diff logind to check for new features and then diff |
60 |
gnome to find how gnome is using those features. |
61 |
|
62 |
so my point over 5 weeks ago was not about the difficulty in _finding_ |
63 |
the changes, but about keeping track of those changes and implementing htem. |
64 |
if you read the rest of the thread you will see that in a whole i was |
65 |
arguing that it is disingenuous to suggest that gnome does not require |
66 |
logind. |
67 |
|
68 |
if you don't see that perhaps you could volunteer to add logind api |
69 |
features to openRC ? |
70 |
|
71 |
btw, why did you reply to me cc the list instead of replying to list ? |
72 |
i'm on the list already and so because of that my reply-to-list is broken. |
73 |
it's easy enough to copy and paste the email address but please don't do |
74 |
that again. |
