So, *has* somebody created a Debian package with systemd-19x (current
version is -197) yet?

If so, please submit to Experimental.

Thanks.

I expect that there will be a big talk about the future Debian init
system just after the release.

I've done some preliminary packages for 195 [1] but the udev bits are
not working yet.
More important then the actual packaging work is how we deal with the
merged udev + systemd maintainership.
I.e. we need to talk to Marco how we are going to handle systemd+udev
(shared git repo, packaging tools, etc).

My position is that we need to have exactly one init system in Debian.
I am not sure yet about which one it should be, but if it will not be
systemd then I see no place in Debian for it.
So I would rather not spend time discussing something which may never
happen. Does anybody want to organize a Debian-init meeting at FOSDEM?

I think we can decouple the init discussion from udev, since we can
certainly continue to ship udev as a separate binary package which
doesn't have any dependencies on systemd.
Unless you plan to ship udev as part of the systemd binary package?

As for co-maintainenance of systemd+udev we need decide where and how we
are going to maintain the combined work.
Right now the systemd repo is at [1] using gitpkg, dh and dh_install.
Marco, your workflow is quite different, so I guess we need to find some
common ground if we are going to work as a team on this.

At least in the short term, that's not going to happen. Wheezy will
ship with two or three, jessie is likely to ship with more than one too.

I'll be happy to meet up at FOSDEM. I guess we'll just have to find a
corner somewhere and discuss about it.

Michael, are you planning on going to FOSDEM?

Hi,

Marco d'Itri:

I'd amend that to "one _master_ init system", meaning that anything else
(Hurd, *BSD kernels) will have to derive their init scripts from systemd
unit files (if that is in fact chosen).

I am, but this is not the right place for that discussion.

Good idea.

I don't know whether I'll be able to attend yet, unfortunately.

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, I'll be there and I definitely think we should meet. I'm new to
fosdem and it's proceedings. How can we get a room for a BOF/meeting?
