Gentoo without system-disease

Permanently blocking systemd systemd USE flag

Add -systemd to the system's USE variable in /etc/portage/make.conf.

Mask systemd and udev

In order to explicitly inform Portage to never install systemd, a mask file will need to be created. Masks can be created a two different ways. Either create a FOLDER called package.mask in /etc/portage then create individual text files containing lists of packages to be masked OR create a FILE called package.mask and organize it all in one big file. Portage will be happy with either method. The choice is left up to the system administrator. Why two ways? Well, it would appear two methods continue to exist for organizational purposes. Some users like having everything defined in one file, while other users like having each set of packages masked in separate folders.

/etc/portage/package.mask/systemdpackage.mask (FOLDER example)

sys-apps/systemd
sys-fs/udev

OR

FILE /etc/portage/package.maskpackage.mask (FILE example)

sys-apps/systemd
sys-fs/udev

Masking udev will not result in a broken system; Portage is smart enough to automatically replace udev by sys-fs/eudev: the systemd-free fork of udev.

Fucking retard. Disable everything while you're at it.

install solaris

Hey Lennart, why didn't you log into your account so everyone would know there's a malware faggot posting here?

I'm sorry, I didn't notice the "log in" button.

What's the reason not to use systemd anyway?

You forgot some slashes, but this is nice. I wonder how good eudev is though, its developers didn't seem very competent.

>>8
What slashes?

>>9

/etc/portage/package.mask/systemdpackage.mask
/etc/portage/package.maskpackage.mask

LOL

You can do retarded stuff like that to get rid of systemd. Then your system breaks every other update.

OR, you could just use Slackware.

This troll is a little slimmer than the >>7 one, but still shit-tier.

>>8
They only extracted udev from the systemd tree and applied some changes, switching from udev to eudev didn't break anything and it still works fine

Install Gentoo.

>>14
whats going through your head when you post this?

>>15
Bigger question is what's going through people's head who don't post stuff like that.

>>15
What's going through your head when you post badly-spelled, grammatically wrong shit?

>>17
Stop flinging poop.

Yes, but also make sure to mask avahi, pulseaudio, and dbus as well. DBus will still get installed, as it's a hard dependency of gtk though, but at least where it's optional it won't spread.

>>7
Security reasons for one. systemd is major security liability.

Portage is smart enough to automatically replace udev by sys-fs/eudev: the systemd-free fork of udev.

it is?

its not hard to do it yourself
emerge -C sys-fs/udev
emerge -1 sys-fs/eudev
etc-update
emerge @preserved-rebuild

though if you do this right after installation (or really before you install anything with udev/systemd as a build dep) you won't need to worry about updating configs or rebuilding for lost dependencies.

Why not just use Void?

>>22
Is it any good?

>>22
Because Gentoo is better.

>>24

Because Gentoo was better.
