schestowitz"Sep 06 20:11
schestowitzWhat I don’t understand is why Debian also agrees with systemd? Debian has always sailed its own course and it now chooses for systemd in Debian8. Debian isn’t forced to do this. They think systemd is the way to go. If I want to keep using sysvinit I have to choose another distro (Devuan). I love sysvinit and I works for me but I also love Debian.Sep 06 20:11

schestowitz@sassonie:Sep 06 20:12
schestowitzAs far as I’ve followed Debian in this decision (which is not very far as I don’t use it and probably never will), the decision was made by a comparatively small technical council and not by the entire user base or package maintainer or even developer base. Which is ultimately why Devuan exists, because a number of developers felt their concerns ignored in the process of the decision and decided to split from and fork Debian to avoidSep 06 20:12
schestowitzsystemd.Sep 06 20:12
schestowitzSo it seems to me one part of the answer is an at least questionable process of deciding, the other is probably Gnome: As Debian supports Gnome it may have been a decision between “going with systemd” or “supporting >1 init systems”. While this may be easy for source-built distributions like Gentoo, Slackware, LfS, it’s way harder when maintaining binary packages, as instead of just switching a dependency on or off during buildSep 06 20:12
schestowitzphase now an affected maintainer needs to maintain two binary packages along with two dependency trees mutually exclusive to each other.Sep 06 20:12
schestowitzThe sad thing is, that every distribution based on Debian now faces the same decision and problems. It might be easy for Ubuntu, as Canonical is probably happy to go with systemd themselves (for even maybe the same reasons RedHat brought it on the table in the first place), but other, smaller ones might now need to also decide on whether to go with systemd or switch over to Devuan with a less than safely foreseeable future.Sep 06 20:12

schestowitzWhen restarting a serivce, systemd normally just kills all the processes in the process group. This is normally a good thing: if you restart postfix or apache you don’'t want to have to pin-point all of their sub-processes. However, this is not always a good thing (think of sshd that starts a user shell). Thus there is KiilMode=process to just kill the main process.Sep 07 18:33
schestowitzProcesses called by the cron daemon are normally short-lived and should probably be killed if it is restarted. However there are some exceptions.Sep 07 18:33
schestowitzBefore systemd/upstart were available, there was no easy way to start a daemon. One way people chose was to start a process by cron in the @reboot target. A hack, but a popular one.Sep 07 18:33
schestowitzThus the cron package was fixed (also the stable one). Thanks again to Dr. Roy for yet another chance to show how versatile and awesome systemd is.Sep 07 18:33

schestowitzHi,Sep 09 18:08
schestowitzA dozen years ago I set up PGP and at the time I used an E-mail address at a domain I had developed, before it was cyber-squatted (probably expired registration). I added to the key my new E-mail address quite a long time ago. You can disregard that old E-mail address. In fact, I have just contacted Daniel to let him know about the domain issue...Sep 09 18:08

schestowitzIndeed, this is a good example of why systemd is a bad idea.Sep 09 19:27
schestowitzMe like most professional sysadmins or people managing critical servers, do not update systems to get the most trendy and newest desktop icons, but for patching security and functionality bugs. It’s not only not funny patching servers, if servers break we have to fix them as soon as possible, and if done professionally we have to give endless explanations of why servers got broken if they were working fine.Sep 09 19:27
schestowitzSo here comes systemd, that for no apparent advantage breaks random and unexpected things, and even there are naive guys that update servers with systemd in unattended mode so servers broke automatically.Sep 09 19:27
schestowitzI do not remember the last time upgrading the old init system broke something on my servers.Sep 09 19:27
schestowitz'Sep 09 19:27
schestowitzImagine this happening to two dozen servers, potentially leading them to drain of disk space (no flushing operating from cron), then damaging data integrity. You don't even know what went wrong, so you spend hours investigating and then hours applying to all servers. I do this for a living sometimes and I dread apt-get upgrade, now even MORE....Sep 09 19:28

schestowitz"Sep 06 20:11
schestowitzWhat I don’t understand is why Debian also agrees with systemd? Debian has always sailed its own course and it now chooses for systemd in Debian8. Debian isn’t forced to do this. They think systemd is the way to go. If I want to keep using sysvinit I have to choose another distro (Devuan). I love sysvinit and I works for me but I also love Debian.Sep 06 20:11

schestowitz@sassonie:Sep 06 20:12
schestowitzAs far as I’ve followed Debian in this decision (which is not very far as I don’t use it and probably never will), the decision was made by a comparatively small technical council and not by the entire user base or package maintainer or even developer base. Which is ultimately why Devuan exists, because a number of developers felt their concerns ignored in the process of the decision and decided to split from and fork Debian to avoidSep 06 20:12
schestowitzsystemd.Sep 06 20:12
schestowitzSo it seems to me one part of the answer is an at least questionable process of deciding, the other is probably Gnome: As Debian supports Gnome it may have been a decision between “going with systemd” or “supporting >1 init systems”. While this may be easy for source-built distributions like Gentoo, Slackware, LfS, it’s way harder when maintaining binary packages, as instead of just switching a dependency on or off during buildSep 06 20:12
schestowitzphase now an affected maintainer needs to maintain two binary packages along with two dependency trees mutually exclusive to each other.Sep 06 20:12
schestowitzThe sad thing is, that every distribution based on Debian now faces the same decision and problems. It might be easy for Ubuntu, as Canonical is probably happy to go with systemd themselves (for even maybe the same reasons RedHat brought it on the table in the first place), but other, smaller ones might now need to also decide on whether to go with systemd or switch over to Devuan with a less than safely foreseeable future.Sep 06 20:12

schestowitzWhen restarting a serivce, systemd normally just kills all the processes in the process group. This is normally a good thing: if you restart postfix or apache you don’'t want to have to pin-point all of their sub-processes. However, this is not always a good thing (think of sshd that starts a user shell). Thus there is KiilMode=process to just kill the main process.Sep 07 18:33
schestowitzProcesses called by the cron daemon are normally short-lived and should probably be killed if it is restarted. However there are some exceptions.Sep 07 18:33
schestowitzBefore systemd/upstart were available, there was no easy way to start a daemon. One way people chose was to start a process by cron in the @reboot target. A hack, but a popular one.Sep 07 18:33
schestowitzThus the cron package was fixed (also the stable one). Thanks again to Dr. Roy for yet another chance to show how versatile and awesome systemd is.Sep 07 18:33

schestowitzSure, there were ways. You could write an init.d unit. But I’m talking about simple ways.Sep 07 18:33

schestowitzIndeed, this is a good example of why systemd is a bad idea.Sep 09 19:27
schestowitzMe like most professional sysadmins or people managing critical servers, do not update systems to get the most trendy and newest desktop icons, but for patching security and functionality bugs. It’s not only not funny patching servers, if servers break we have to fix them as soon as possible, and if done professionally we have to give endless explanations of why servers got broken if they were working fine.Sep 09 19:27
schestowitzSo here comes systemd, that for no apparent advantage breaks random and unexpected things, and even there are naive guys that update servers with systemd in unattended mode so servers broke automatically.Sep 09 19:27
