+The last few days a new boot system called -systemd -has been -introduced - -to the free software world. I have not yet had time to play around -with it, but it seem to be a very interesting alternative to -upstart, and might prove to be -a good alternative for Debian when we are able to switch to an event -based boot system. Tollef is -in the process of getting -systemd into Debian, and I look forward to seeing how well it work. I -like the fact that systemd handles init.d scripts with dependency -information natively, allowing them to run in parallel where upstart -at the moment do not.
- -Unfortunately do systemd have the same problem as upstart regarding -platform support. It only work on recent Linux kernels, and also need -some new kernel features enabled to function properly. This means -kFreeBSD and Hurd ports of Debian will need a port or a different boot -system. Not sure how that will be handled if systemd proves to be the -way forward.
- -In the mean time, based on the -input -on debian-devel@ regarding parallel booting in Debian, I have -decided to enable full parallel booting as the default in Debian as -soon as possible (probably this weekend or early next week), to see if -there are any remaining serious bugs in the init.d dependencies. A -new version of the sysvinit package implementing this change is -already in experimental. If all go well, Squeeze will be released -with parallel booting enabled by default.
