Dear Maintainer,

It's look like the package need systemd … (throught recommends)
Can you please fix it ?

A default installation should not rely on a specific software that can break
all others software.

thx

Hi,

First of all, having a default status of needing systemd is not a big issue. It is not
hard dependency, so you always have the choice to uninstall any package recommendation
that needs systemd.

Secondly, I did not see that installing persepolis will introduce systemd itself. It
seems that only libsystemd library will be introduced due to dynamic library
dependency. Having libsystemd library installed is harmless because the library will
not do anything useful if systemd is not running. Please correct me if my observation
is wrong.

Finally, I have no idea on how to properly avoid systemd as you requested since all
packages listed in the Recommends field are legit, and removing or demoting any of them
are not reasonable. Do you have a good patch that can be used? I would be happy to take
patches if it could properly avoid introducing systemd by default without losing any of
persepolis' upstream-provided functionality.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang

So i will open a upstream request and see how that can be manage, thx
for feedbacks.
