For "server stuff", you should have no problem. If the machine where |
| 22 |
you want to have both systemd and OpenRC also works as a desktop |
| 23 |
workstation, right now that is not possible; there are several desktop |
| 24 |
packages that cannot decide at run time if they use systemd (actually, |
| 25 |
logind) or ConsoleKit (polkit being the most obvious). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So you'll need to remove the systemd USE flag, add the consolekit one, |
| 28 |
and recompile the necessary packages to get back to a systemd-less |
| 29 |
desktop. Be aware that ConsoleKit is basically dead; it has no |
| 30 |
upstream, no new features are being developed for it, and I don't |
| 31 |
think even basic security bugs are actively fixed. Everything that |
| 32 |
depended on ConsoleKit has switched or is considering switching to |
| 33 |
logind, which right now is provided only by systemd (Canonical is |
| 34 |
working in an alternative implementation, and I believe some *BSD guys |
| 35 |
were also looking into the matter). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
When the logind alternative implementations are ready, maybe it will |
| 38 |
be possible to again boot to both OpenRC and systemd with the same |
| 39 |
binaries; right now is not possible. |
