Actually, there are quite a few people working on providing systemd-free packages, at least for Debian. There are about a dozen packages that depend on systemd, such as dbus, pulse-audio, avahi-daemon, udisk.

You can see some of the dependencies (of Debian packages) here. http://imgur.com/a/Wi1zb > At least the kernel is protected > against some rash implementations, since Linus Torvalds doesn't like > Kay Sievers that much.

Also, there is an excellent project to replace udev, designed to be portable to *BSD unices. https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev http://judecnelson.blogspot.com/2015/01/introducing-vdev.html cheers, -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
