Porting systemd To New Distributions
HOWTO:
You need to make the follow changes to adapt systemd to your
distribution:
1) Find the right configure parameters for:
--with-rootprefix=
--with-sysvinit-path=
--with-sysvrcnd-path=
--with-rc-local-script-path-start=
--with-rc-local-script-path-stop=
--with-kbd-loadkeys=
--with-kbd-setfont=
--with-tty-gid=
2) Try it out. Play around (as an ordinary user) with
'/usr/lib/systemd/systemd --test --system' 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 generally do no longer accept distribution-specific
patches to systemd upstream. If you have to make changes to
systemd's source code to make it work on your distribution,
unless your code is generic enough to be generally useful, we
are unlikely to merge it. Please always consider adopting the
upstream defaults. If that is not possible, please maintain
the relevant patches downstream.
Thank you for understanding.
