Systemd in Arch

Hi,
will systemd be integrated as default in arch and if yes how long should this take?

Regards

Re: Systemd in Arch

They currently have no plans to, and personally after my brief foray with systemd I decided I just like the simplicity of sysvinit better, don't need to mess around with it as much.

And when I tried systemd on my laptop it didn't really give me any boot time improvements (and yes I had my system set up as a "pure" systemd system, using its native config files and units, and removing the arch units) It probably has much more benefits if you have an ssd drive. On my 5400rpm laptop drive just backgrounding daemons and using e4rat gives me 21 seconds to a responsive gnome-shell desktop.

I don't know what's so simple in sysvinit. I found systemd much more transparent and nicer than bloated and ugly sysvinit scripts.

Strange, last time I tried it on my PC I get huge boost and I don't use SSD.

Re: Systemd in Arch

I'm closing this. The answer is "no" or "not in the foreseeable future" each time anyone brings this up. Discussions on the merits of systemd should go in the main systemd thread. Thanks.
