I'm quite disappointed at the decision yesterday to defer systemd to
F15. I can understand why it was decided (such a core component must be
introduced with care) but I was under the impression that systemd was
already polished enough so it could be shipped.
I upgraded my system to F14 alpha few weeks ago when I learned that
systemd was part of it. And now, I see that yum want to revert back to
upstart.
If I understand the rationale behind the FESCo decision, it's to make
systemd even better and well integrated in F15. How is that going to
happen if we can't test it with F14?
What I'm asking here is **how can I keep systemd?**
I don't want to go to rawhide until F15 alpha at minimum, I need a
stable enough system for daily use.

I've put “exclude=upstart*” in my /etc/yum.conf and it seems to
work fine. It's not a perfect solution – one need to pay attention
to upstart changelog and update if necessary.

A way to keep systemd running on F14?
You can set the init process in grub.conf, just append to the kernel
line the following:
real_init=/bin/systemd
I agree that systemd should remain a working option for F14 users (man,
it rocks) and so there should a simple way to switch.
best regards,
H.

Forgive the probably dumb question, but why real_init? I was using
init=/sbin/upstart
back in the days when systemd was still badly broken...

Hrm, I'm not sure whether it rocks, but at least it more or less works
now (but does not shut down, but I believe I noticed thread or something
about that somewhere so it's probably known issue...).
Anyway, I'll probably keep it as well for it to rock in F15 :-D

Test in in Rawhide(F15),
where it still is the default.

Erm, i mixed up the setup of systemd for Gentoo and Fedora, the former
uses genkernel instead of dracut for building ramdisks images so some
options may differ.
One should use init= instead of real_init= on Fedora, sorry for the
inconvenience.
best regards,
H.

Don't see any bug report filed on this?* If you have all the updates and see this problem, please file a bug report.
