I'm pretty sure I never said such thing. Both sys-apps/systemd and |
| 30 |
sys-apps/openrc satisfy virtual/service-manager, so if you installed |
| 31 |
systemd, OpenRC was depcleaned some days ago, but since bug 373219[1] |
| 32 |
hasn't been closed, they added OpenRC into the @system set, so now |
| 33 |
it's not even depcleaned. You can put -*sys-apps/openrc in |
| 34 |
/etc/portage/profile/package to solve that. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
No incompatibility, and I never said that. |

I believe you can install OpenRC and systemd in parallel without |
| 42 |
problems. GNOME 3 will pull systemd when installed, but that doesn't |
| 43 |
mean you will need to uninstall OpenRC. However, several GNOME |
| 44 |
packages (including gdm, if I'm not mistaken) will fail if not running |
| 45 |
with systemd as PID=1. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I don't know how well it works OpenRC parallel installed with systemd, |
| 48 |
I haven't used it in years. |
