the rise of basu sd-bus through the maze and into the core of build-chroot – how?

Then read the announcement of joborun-linux from March 21st 24 here and here

Basically make dependency to dependency to make dependency gnupg a core dependency of most linux systems depends on basu, or elogind, or lib-systemd.  So a systemd signature goes deep into no-systemd territory.  Alternatives?

The juice of it here:

March 21st 2024 Equinox: Basu, a systemd part, forces its way into our system!

We were avoiding elogind, we knew it was an option, but now there are no alternatives providing sd-bus.

Major set back but not much we can do – basu part of systemd is in Joborun

BASU a systemd forked part IS IN JOBORUN’s jobcomm repository!

at-spi2-core 2.52.0 requires libei which we didn’t have/use but from Arch it requires systemd Building libei without systemd/libsystemd has 3 options for dependencies (libsystemd, elogind, basu) Basu is the systemd part that provides sd-bus, we had noticed before while playing with wayland crap, particularly things revolving around sway and its gadgets, that basu was a necessity in the same manner of 3 options.

basu is a fork off of the systemd code that provides sd-bus, adopted by void (although they have elogind as well) and many BSD projects who port many linux desktops.

This problem is a little deeper than opting to avoid sway gadgets, as at-spi2-core is a “makedependency” of “pinentry” itself a core pkg, which is a dependency of gnupg.

SO NO BASU NO ARCH BASED LINUX

  2. People (not the ones who are old in this site), give up on mainstream distros. Roll back to a distro which does not use any bloated corporate module, be it basu, wayland or systemd itself. Either that or just leave linux entirely if feasible. bsd and illumos are in the corner.
