Don't install systemd by default
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Most users don't run systemd as their init system inside a container. So it's unnecessary to bloat the base images with all of systemd's machinations (anybody can zypper in ... if they want).
Unfortunately we have to do that for openSUSE 13.2 and 42.1 because some systems tools (like ps) are dynamically linked against libsystemd, which is shipped inside of the systemd package. That is a major pita that has been solved by tumbleweed and SLE12 SP1 by splitting the systemd packages in two parts (one being libsystemd).

<insert rant about libsystemd and why lib[your init system] is a bad idea for making libraries>
But seriously, can we bring this up with the systemd maintainers? Seems like something that we should fix.
This has already been fixed inside of tumbleweed and sle12 sp2. We cannot do this change right now inside of 42.1, things are going to be better with the next release of leap
