[systemd-devel] systemd footprint

[Holger Winkelmann]

Hi all,

We are about to renovate our embedded toolchain a bit and consider to integrate
systemd as init. We are a bit concerned about the DBUS dependency in systemd as
we have to meet a 4-8 MB hard disk (flash) requirement,

I read about some other folks have used systems for embedded devices, but it seems
mor for mobile devices rather then networked sensor devices or similar.

What would be the best approach to scale down to this devices? Is DBUS a hard
requirement? I also can imagine that a pure console based Server OS would not have BDUS either?

What are the plans for the server OS i,e, REHEL if systems becomes standard for the distributions?
currently this all sounds in many parts Desktop centric but has a lot of potential for
embedded or server uses cases.

Many Thanks,
