Autor: Simon Walter Data: Dla: dng Temat: [DNG] Cockpit removal might make sense
Hi all,
I wanted to see if Cockpit would by some unknown magic run on Devuan.
The reason I wanted to do this is because the packages are available in
the default repos.
After installing it on an fresh Beowulf installation, it does not run
and to my knowledge will never be able to w/o systemd sockets.
So, may I suggest that it is removed from the default repos, as it is
misleading for beginners and may lead to unnecessary bug reports.
IIRC, the policy is not to remove anything related, but use stubs and
let the user deal with half-broken software (ie. GNOME). Cockpit doesn't
(currently) have dependencies on systemd and it's modules, but it
requires a systemd socket to function. So, AFAICT, it is not even
partially usable.
