Mr Dog posted:anyway kdbus and gnome sandboxes will solve this for the narrow case of desktop applications (which tbh nobody really cares about for linux anyway). so you'll have a sandboxed GNOME Weather applet and GNOME Music application that can be released to users directly via self-contained release ZIPs from upstream downloaded via the GNOME Software application. Great.

if systemd wasn't a thing then i'd say runit is quite nice, it gets the whole orthogonal co-operating processes thing really right. trouble is systemd solves more problems (i.e. actually understanding interprocess dependencies itself instead of expecting an admin or developer to explain them), even if it isn't quite as pretty. i do like pretty things but even i prefer slightly less pretty things that actually get poo poo done. redis is much prettier than postgres and the associated cesspit that is sql, for instance. unfortunately redis requires the db to fit into core and uh can't even filter poo poo when querying a data set, and that's rather important functionality imo.

Hey instead of running this comprehensive thing I recommend you use these distro-specific bespoke packages that don't even purport to be init replacements Also code xbill to replace bill gates with poettering

Unix did almost from the very beginning, I assume plan 9 tried to be more true but lol plan 9 also lol at the idea that systemd is on the same complexity scale as the kernel itself also if these guys are so desperate for "init reform but MY SIMPLICITY" they should get off their asses and port launchd plus apples log daemon, p sure it does most of the same poo poo without being as complicated. have read poettering's reasons for not just cloning launchd and it was something vague about it not providing certain things enterprise linux wants but hey if you want the simpler version it is out there, and loving well proven irl

api call girl posted:http://boycottsystemd.org quote:Ultimately, systemd's parasitism is symbolic of something more than systemd itself. It shows a radical shift in thinking by the Linux community. Not necessarily a positive one, either. One that is vehemently postmodern, monolithic, heavily desktop-oriented, choice-limiting, isolationist, reinvents the flat tire, and just a huge anti-pattern in general. If your goal is to pander to the lowest common denominator, so be it. truly the derrida of software for initializing processes

sometimes i think id like to use a tiling wm because i end up tiling everything in normal wms, then i go look at tiling wms and there literally isnt one that doesnt require setting up a config. why would you want some sensible default keybindings to put some windows a screen when you can learn a whole dsl and dependency ecosystem to have a clock

Mr Dog posted:app stores don't really work for server applications though, which is why I'm not so keen on this one-size-fits-all solution. There the problem is slightly different: all of the languages used to develop server apps have their own siloed package managers which don't interact with rpm or deb at all (node.js npm, Java maven, Perl CPAN, whatever thing Python has). way back in the day when RPM was being designed, the only one of these siloed package managers that existed was CPAN. RPM knows very well about CPAN and will happily resolve dependencies from CPAN. this seemed like a cool interop feature at the time, but it is never used today the reason is that this turned out to be a horrible mis-feature. filling RPM deps using installed CPAN libraries just makes your configuration unpredictable, because CPAN solves a lot of problems wrong and badly. they all do. rubygems is the worst offender, but cpan and cran and pypi and npm can all gently caress right off for similar reasons for the most part these systems:
RPM does all of these things correctly. Rubygems does none of them. Maven scores 3/5. Pypi scores 1/5. Rate your pet system as you see fit -- i don't spend enough time with npm or cran to really pick them apart.

it is ok to hate RPM -- it's ugly and painful and riddled with horrible legacy things -- but the things it does properly are not done properly by other things don't talk to me about letting upstream package things until you can show me how my app will reliably depend on signed artifacts (yes, artifacts not source) that i can repeatably deploy maven is far and away the least broken language "silo," but it is still far from perfect (and usually rpm is still your best bet at deploy-time, even if you use maven to build the drat rpm)

poettering's energies would be better spent developing an rpm and deb replacement to strongarm everyone into switching to and have its installation processing be declarative with a fixed vocabulary that can maybe be extended over time. deb went the opposite way: debs used to have completely freeform installation shell scripts that ran as root but over time bits and pieces of these all got packaged into "debhelper" scripts and now most debs install themselves exclusively by calling a sequence of debhelper scripts from the installation script and nothing else or something. i've never actually built a deb. make shared library developer ppl do some semver type thing and have all these different .so builds install side-by-side. use debian's multiarch approach to handle x86 and x86_64 on the same system because that is the Correct Solution to this problem. nobody has ever explained to me why we need crazy filesystem namespacing bullshit to install /usr/lib/libdickbutt.so.1.5.3 and /usr/lib/libdickbutt.1.6.2 side-by-side (and have .1.5.3 automatically replace 1.5.2) with the package manager maintaining its own index of the available .so versions installed on the system and available in the package repository. u can then install a package produced by upstream and if like, it says it needs shared libs X Y and Z and DBus services org.foo and org.bar then whatever distro ur running the pkg manager should be able to satisfy them. maybe even have some URLs where upstream (signed!) versions can be downloaded (and where security-patched updated binaries can also be updated as they become available) then go through the absolutely monumental effort of making everything produce deterministic builds that have a cryptographically secure link to the Git commit used to produce each of these binaries and i'm already gettin a semi thinking about it or, you know, do a lovely half-assed solution where you stuff a bunch of binaries that came from gently caress-knows-where into a gigantic loving tarball and sucks to be you if /usr/@SOMERUNTIMEPACKAGE-JUSTGONNASHITTHISALLOVERYOURFILESYSTEM-1.27.3.00176543-f00cface/lib64/libz.so turns out to contain a buffer overflow

The issue with making a better deb/rpm packages is that at the end of the day... they're still deb/rpm. deb/rpm have three things: the file format itself, the user runtime, and the build system and infrastructure around them. As a developer, the build system and infrastructure around them is terrible: I don't like duplicating all my commit messages into four different changelogs (upstream git log, debian changelog/rpm specfile, package git log, RHEL-mandated CHANGELOG file). I don't like the 80s-style workflow of patch files in a directory, rather than just building from a git branch. My workflow should be "point an automated tool at this git branch". As a user, I'm not a fan of the user runtime, either. I don't like how libpng means that I can't upgrade Firefox, or if Firefox fails to upgrade, I can't install an upgrade to LibreOffice separately. Bundling system components and applications together in the same namespace has always provided for a terrible user experience. Unlike Poettering's solution, I've developed an app bundle system that *can* deal with security updates, applicable by the system admin, not the runtime developer. I think it's inexcusable to not have a way for the sysadmin to hotpatch your system in a sane way, especially with how 0days develop in this climate. And then there's the file format, which is what all the arguments are about, and that I don't give a poo poo about. Metadata's metadata, at the end of the day.

any vision of linux succeeding on the desktop that somehow involves libreoffice is ridiculous on its face gdocs is a more viable route since it actually does some things better than the thing people already have (cost is an illusion, people get office), but that p. means linux on the desktop would be chromeos which community-wise is p. much worse than microsoft staying on top since more foss stuff happens on windows than on chromeos
