No no, I was careful to apply the same standards. :-) My main
question is whether it’s usable at all:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48924#1
Tony’s use case has to do with satisfying the dependencies of a
binary-only proprietary executable:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48924#2
To me, that use case alone isn’t enough to justify maintaining systemd
in Guix proper.
However, if, as Efraim suggests, a systemd package has some uses, at
least on foreign distros, then that’s fine with me. It’s a very narrow
use case (running ‘loginctl’ on a foreign distro), but why not.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
