brocashelmwhy would it "need" libsystemd?00:08
brocashelmsounds like a very random dependency for a package that could work just fine on any other init system00:09
hagbardI doesn't actually __need__ it. The dpenedency of the package debian should be "recommends" max.00:31
hagbard+in00:32
hagbardAnother Devuan user filed a bug in Debian, but was basically told to fuck off, because Devuan.00:35
hagbardThere are merely two calls of sd_notify() that tell systemd that fluidsynth ist starting / stopping.00:42
rwpI guess one must recreate the situation in pure Debian but without systemd and then submit a report from that system.  Sigh.00:42
rwpIt's a distraction that the bug submitter allowed downstream Devuan information to sneak into that upstream Debian bug report.  And here it gave an out for them to ignore the actual problem.00:43
rwpA pure Debian development environment could probably be synthesized using debootstrap and a chroot without otherwise needing a full system install.00:46
hagbardAnd I can't fathom, why libfluidsynth-dev would need libsystemd-dev at all. The headers of libfluidsynth don't reference any libsystemd-header at all.00:48
rwpI know they say don't attribute to malice which is better explained by incompetence but this seems to be a willful combination of both.00:48
LeePenhagbard: thanks. I'll take a look later on today.10:47
LeePen hagbard: pm sent.12:39
xrogaanfsmithred: installed devuan over a brand new machine using UEFI. The installer gets confusing when they warn about BIOS mode not being available, especially my system is EFI. It doesn't explain what the BIOS/EFI thing means.23:26
xrogaanSince we don't usually install an OS every week, that'd be a something worth explaining further.23:27
