Re: Help needed to configure and compile gpsd to run on a Raspberry Pi 4 and NOT use systemd

[Robert P Schaefer]

hi, all in this thread,

  This is a general question on systemd.

 I’ve been using systemd for a while (I barely used what came before, before 
systemd replaced it)

  and find it generally workable.

  What are your (seemingly all of you in this thread) concerns about systemd?
