This sort of technology revolution is not going to be crowbarred into applications by Fedora or any sane distributor that needs to worry about keeping in sync with upstream project developements. If you can't convince upstream developers to build in support, a think its pretty ludicrious to be having a discussion about it at the distributor level with any expectation a distributor like fedora to do all the work downstream to integrate electra specific patches. The elektra developers might believe they've got the best idea for a technology since sliced bread... but what existing projects with an active codebase are actually attempting to integrate support for this concept into their application? And why are they bothering with SysVinit at all... when there are a chorus of voices whoaare calling for SysVinit to be shot in the head. If electra were smart they'd be in communication with developers of a few of the up and coming SysVinit replacements... cough initng cough... and get elektra support buried deep into the guts of those projects so elektra gets dragged in because it would take too much work to remove. -jef"can someone point me to the upstream xorg discussion where the elektra people have submitted their patches for inclusion into the mainline xorg codebase?"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
