Tumbleweed backs off on systemd for now
Tumbleweed backs off on systemd for now
[Distributions] Posted Sep 20, 2011 14:13 UTC (Tue) by corbet
The openSUSE "Tumbleweed" distribution has removed systemd (which had been
available as an optional package) for now. "Due to a number of
interdependancies on packages that are not ready for Tumbleweed, and other
interactions with the system that are causing problems for some users, I'm
going to remove systemd from Tumbleweed today to allow the developers to
spend more time on getting it stable for Factory and 12.1 instead of having
to chase down problems that are specific to Tumbleweed only.
"
Interestingly, almost all of the followup discussion is about whether this
change should be announced more widely or kept quiet.
