Beg to differ - rather vehemently too - politely but vehemently.<br>
<br>
systemd is only available in fedora[1] - we are the test pigs for<br>
better or for worse - and there are most certainly bugs in fedora's systemd.<br></blockquote><div><br>Both opensuse and meego are moving to it currently and it will be in their next releases. Fedora being the first isn't surprising as Red Hat employed people are the leads on the project and its one of our four foundations. I would be be very surprised if there weren't bugs, its the first rewrite of the init system for decades. Fedora 14's init system isn't that different to the first version of RHL (4.0) I started using back in 96.<br>

Lets be blunt here - he pushed very very very hard on these very lists<br>
to get systemd in - now its in F15 and there are problems - so no<br>
punting please. Upstream and fedora are the same for systemd.<br></blockquote><div><br>Not sure what your point is here.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Some bugs like sendmail failing to start have been there since<br>
September 2010 ( almost 9 months ... ) - people are reporting the same<br>
issue on F15 in the fedora lists ... who is fixing this stuff ?<br>
<br>
e.g.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008</a><br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633774" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633774</a><br></blockquote><div><br>Reading through both of those bugs they both look to be a regression in the handling of NetworkManager dispatcher scripts [1] which are now fixed and should be in stable [2] since 2nd June have you bothered to test this and update the bugs? Its unfortunate the problem with the dispatcher scripts wasn't picked up prior to release but the bug was fixed upstream by the NM maintainer in a day once it was reported [3]. <br>

Ok so he's on vacation - this is a very core part of the OS - who is<br>
backing him up I wonder? Who else is on the project?<br></blockquote><div><br>A number of people, but as pointed out above its not necessarily always systemd's fault. System startup is a complex process and has a lot of interdependencies.<br>

Surely you're not saying there is no-one else working on systemd...<br>
and when LP is away/busy nothing will get done ... otherwise I strongly<br>
urge it be replaced by upstart asap.<br></blockquote><div><br>That's certainly not the case, you only have to look as far as the upstream mailing list to see that. The fact that Ubuntu is the only project now sticking with upstart (and i believe it was actually used by Fedora in a mainline release first too) shows its uptake. A lot of projects will have a lead architect that is the main driving force behind the project in the early stages of the project, systemd is certainly not alone here. In fact if you bothered to go and look at upstart I think you'll find its the same there, and what's more with everyone moving to systemd there's likely a lot less people working on upstart. <br>
