You don't need to use backups, much less a full reinstall. However, |
17 |
several packages must be reemerged and a couple ones must be |
18 |
uninstalled before you switch to systemd. Obviously, you need to do |
19 |
the opposite to revert back to OpenRC. |

|
21 |
Which packages must be reemerged and which ones must be uninstalled |
22 |
depends on what do you have installed. It is mostly handled by |
23 |
portage, though, so you don't need to worry about it. |
24 |
|
25 |
If you unpack a stage3 tarball for a new installation, the only thing |
26 |
you need to do to get systemd is to "emerge systemd" and change your |
27 |
init line in your boot loader. Portage will uninstall udev for you, |
28 |
and OpenRC will remain, but it would do nothing. The more things you |
29 |
add to your system, the more packages will be affected by the change, |
30 |
in either direction. Also, systemd requires more kernel configure |
31 |
options enabled than OpenRC. |
32 |
|
33 |
To change back, usually you will only need to unemerge systemd, emerge |
34 |
udev, and perhaps USE="-systemd" emerge -uDNvp @world. Be warned that |
35 |
the best thing to do is to do it from a LiveCD; if you boot with |
36 |
systemd, and uninstalled it, I don't think the shutdown would be |
37 |
clean. |
