Use without systemd

[void-m4110c]

Hi,

as there are many distros out there that don't force you to use systemd, it would be great to have an option to install python-validity on those systems.

Is there any solution for this?

Thanks

Look at the systemd service file and write your own script.

I'm running this on gentoo+OpenRC just fine. The init script looks like:

$ cat /etc/init.d/validity
#!/sbin/openrc-run
command="/usr/lib/python-validity/dbus-service"
command_background=true
pidfile="/var/run/${RC_SVCNAME}.pid"

@mid-kid without fprintd-clients? I'm struggling to install it as it has a hard requirement for libsystemd

[mid-kid]

@Midou36O You can use fprintd-0.9.0 to build the clients without libsystemd. Here's a relevant patch for it: https://pastebin.com/raw/7AQbB0WC

That said, good chance you can modify modern fprintd to link with elogind since the clients only need the sd-bus api, which elogind provides. It didn't exist back when I was still messing with this tool and it's probably more trouble than it's worth, the new clients haven't added much functionality.

So i could just use a modern libelogind patched fprintd and it would just work?

[mid-kid]

Like I said, I use the clients from fprintd-0.9.0, which don't need libsystemd, so I wouldn't know.

I see, thanks for the help.

Update: I got it to work, Please check this if you want to install it through OpenRC
