Hey guys, let me clarify the Slackware position on systemd.

Patrick has no intent on enforcing the usage of systemd upon Slackware and it's users unless it becomes an unavoidable issue. So far, this has not been the case in the slightest, and we doubt it will be. Slackware intends to keep the bsd-stylized sysvinit implementation.

Packages do have some systemd files for systemd systems, but because all packages in Slackware try to stay as vanilla as possible to "./configure && make && make install" methodology. You are free to remove them after-the-fact, or modify the Slackbuild scripts to remove them during the package construction stages.

There is a systemd experimental repackage of Slackware called Dlackware by a package developer named bartgymnast, but while the repack is specific to systemd, it is unsupported, unofficial, and still considered unstable in build.

I hope this clarifies this.

Yes, it has been quite a lot of work for me, especially due to the lack
of my skills in the programming and Debian packaging as I am just an
ordinary user. So what I have been doing is basically trial and error :)

Change something, re-compile, revert back when fails, again and again
until the packages get successfully compiled. But that is not the end of
it. The installation of the packages that have been successfully
compiled are not always smooth. I broke my install several times. But I
didn't spend time to troubleshoot, again due to the lack of my skills.
After taking some logs and notes on something which I thought might be
related to the changes that I made. I put back the disk image which I
always take before any installation, then start all over again :)

So I think that is quite embarrassing, especially for Devuan (for me, I
don't really care) if that kind of process would be documented some
where on Devuan site :)

I have leant a lot by reading the commits on Devuan gitlab, especially
the ones with the title related to "removing systemd" like
https://git.devuan.org/packages-base/dbus/commit/2ebb243f3fa51790d93e7f21a11dca324df6b0fd,
https://git.devuan.org/packages-base/network-manager/commit/665eb3cb32e9ca3f4294f783375e4118d9b78427
and many others.

Cheers,

Anto
