This is very much incorrect. For example, one of the specs (config files) is driven mainly by libeconf which is completely unrelated to systemd and which is used by many projects (and not by systemd) https://github.com/openSUSE/libeconf https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/configuration_files_specification/ None of the specifications mentioned on this website require systemd for anything. Of course many of them were started in systemd as that's largely where innovation happens in low-level userspace Linux these days, you are not going to see anything new come out of sysvinit scripts or whatnot in 2025. As it was already mentioned, those discussions on that Gitlab repo are just sad. Trying to yet again undo usr-merge is just a nonsensical anachronism at this point. Any leftovers can just remain on the old specifications, it is absurd to try and unwind the clock and try to push for reverting usr-merge in a new specification. I'll start the work to move the file-hierarchy manpage to the uapi-group website. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
