Subject: Cyclic dependency with systemd?
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:04:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1452762264910.97373@axis.com> (raw)

Hello,


I am a bit concerned about the call to "sd_booted" in misc-util/logger.c:942. This would mean that util-linux depends on systemd, but systemd also depends on util-linux for libmount.


I have not run into any problems myself but can this be an issue? In theory: If you compile systemd without util-linux, it should fail because it needs libmount, and if you try to compile util-linux, it should also fail because it needs sd_booted from libsystemd.



Best regards,

Fredrik Johnsson
