Questions about usage (: #1

Hi

I'm looking to try to get snapd running on my gentoo machine, and this overlay looks like the best-maintained (ie, I'm less likely to make a hash of things), but I have some questions:

  1. metadata/layout.conf refers to two masters: gentoo and dlang a. looks like the dlang repo is an official one, providing D language functionality? Am I correct? b. do I really need it?
  2. It looks like the ebuild you provide for snapd inherits from systemd, but I use openrc -- is this a problem?

I think it could be a problem, there're some more systemd units generated when running snapd.

Unfortunately snapd itself relies on systemd. Not just a case of adapting the ebuild but patching snapd.

Thanks for getting back to me. No snaps for me, I guess.

Looking at https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/systemd/systemd.go, it seems that snapd has systemd as a "cli api-only" dependency, and quite neatly wrapped up. I think I might finally have something concrete to dig into for learning go -- I learn best by doing, and so far I've only spent time on video course.

Thanks again for the heads-up
