Beg to differ - rather vehemently too - politely but vehemently.
systemd is only available in fedora[1] - we are the test pigs for
better or for worse - and there are most certainly bugs in fedora's
systemd.
Uh. You are confusing "available" with "being default". It is
available
in quite a a number of distros, but F15 is the first big one to make it
the default.
Ok so he's on vacation - this is a very core part of the OS -
who is
backing him up I wonder? Who else is on the project?
A lot of folks. To join our community just drop by on #systemd and the
ML and you will always find folks happy to respond to your questions
UNLESS OF COURSE YOU LIKE TO WRITE THEM ALL IN UPPERCASE LETTERS WITH A
LOT OF EXCLAMATIONS AND INSULTS LIKE SOME PEOPLE ON THIS MAILING LIST
LIKE TO DO IT. In fact shouting all the time is a great way to get
yourself ignored.
Surely you're not saying there is no-one else working on
systemd...
and when LP is away/busy nothing will get done ... otherwise I strongly
urge it be replaced by upstart asap.
Just because I am away for a week or two systemd development didn't
stop. We have quite a few contributors (ohloh counts 66 patch authors),
and there a 5 folks with commit access, and a couple of patches went in
while I was gone.
I think systemd is a very healthy project. Much healthier than a lot of
projects we ship in our distribution by default and even then some of
its core components.
Uh, and even much healthier than Upstart, which you seem to be a big fan
of. Ohloh lists 3 patch authors. (But I figure that is out-of-date, it
cannot be that low)
