Compatibilty with non-systemd deb distros

Open wwuck opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

I was looking to try this APT/deb installer on Devuan GNU+Linux, a Debian derivative that uses SysVinit or OpenRC instead of Systemd, but after seeing #5 it looks like that won't be possible any more. Is this APT installer still supported to run on Debian based systems without systemd? Debian itself also still supports running without Systemd, even though Systemd is the default.

@wwuck I am not against adding support for non-systemd distros. My thinking was it would be simpler going forward to move to systemd. That said, I'd be happy to review a PR that adds back non-systemd support. The community (you and anyone who takes up the challenge to submit PR's, etc) is in charge of what is supported.

Thanks for the reply @bhamail. I'll have to do some investigating on this but it shouldn't be too hard to add in as the systemd service file doesn't appear to do anything complex.

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing what you learn.
