[systemd-devel] Socket activation and busname aliases in Network/ModemManager

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Colin Guthrie at 20/06/13 09:31 did gyre and gimble:
> Now for NetworkManager itself this more or less OK. You'll be needing it
> pretty much immediately on boot anyway, but what's caught me out a
> little bit more is that ModemManager (0.7.991) also follows this same
> pattern.

> if I don't really need it. Normally I'd expect it to be bus activated if
> I go the relevant menu options via one of the NM control applets etc.

> I presume that to have "bus activation by default", the only change

> alias? Is this the "expected" way to work.

As Jan Steffens kindly pointed out on IRC, this is already fixed...

I'm reassured that my logic was at least correct, but annoyed that I
didn't look first before asking the question. Hey ho.
