   1 Porting systemd To New Distributions
   2
   3 HOWTO:
   4         You need to make the follow changes to adapt systemd to your
   5         distribution:
   6
   7         1) Find the right configure parameters for:
   8
   9             --with-rootprefix=
  10             --with-sysvinit-path=
  11             --with-sysvrcnd-path=
  12             --with-rc-local-script-path-start=
  13             --with-rc-local-script-path-stop=
  14             --with-kbd-loadkeys=
  15             --with-kbd-setfont=
  16             --with-tty-gid=
  17
  18         2) Try it out. Play around with 'systemd --test --system' for
  19         a test run of systemd without booting. This will read the unit
  20         files and print the initial transaction it would execute
  21         during boot-up. This will also inform you about ordering loops
  22         and suchlike.

  24 CONTRIBUTING UPSTREAM:
  25
  26         We are generally do no longer accept distribution specific
  27         patches to systemd upstream. If you have to make changes to
  28         systemd's source code to make it work on your distribution:
  29         unless your code is generic enough to be generally useful we
  30         are unlikely to merge it. Please always consider adopting the
  31         upstream defaults. If that's not possible please maintain the
  32         relevant patches downstream.
