systemd has a native feature that allows generation and instantiatiation of serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer consoles.

0390b8ae1061dceaa8cb97f13870fd9979c009a6 also added getty.target.wants to FILES_${PN}.

I wonder why serial-getty-generator did not dynamically create getty services before in PELUX. It has been a feature in systemd for a very long time (the start of the project almost... to create them on demand and saving boot time in that way.

But if it works now, let's just remove this and be happy that we remove some services from the startup. :)

@SKumarDas do you remember why this change was brought in?

SKumarDas commented 5 years ago

@sashko This change was made to facilitate one more console because before this change we had only one and it was taken by the GUI.

No time to test this myself, but approving assuming we still get virtual consoles.

Feel free to come by my desk and check it out on NUC or Raspberry Pi I have here.
