You need to make the follow changes to adapt systemd to your

add/change things.

4) Try it out. Play around with 'systemd --test
--running-as=init' for a test run of systemd without
booting. This will read the unit files and print the initial
transaction it would execute during boot-up. This will also
inform you about ordering loops and suchlike.
CONTRIBUTING UPSTREAM:
We are interested in merging your changes upstream, if they
are for a big, and well-known distribution. Unfortunately we
don't have the time and resources to maintain
distribution-specific patches for all distributions on the
planet, hence please do not send us patches that adds systemd
support to non-mainstream or niche distributions.
planet, hence please do not send us patches that add systemd
support for non-mainstream or niche distributions.
Thank you for understanding.
BE CONSIDERATE:
We'd like to keep differences between the distributions
minimal. This both simplifies our maintainance work, as well
as it helps administrators to move from one distribution to
another.
Hence we'd like to ask you to keep your changes minimal, and
not rename any units without a very good reason (if you need a
particular name for compatibility reasons, consider using
alias names via symlinks). Before you make changes that change
semantics from upstream, please talk to us!
In SysV almost every distribution uses a different
nomenclature and different locations for the boot-up
scripts. We'd like to avoid chaos like that with systemd right
from the beginning. So please, be considerate!
