Systemd requirements

Hello.

Yesterday, I tried to update my system as normal, but regarding systemd installation, there was 2 choice to do in the requirment.
I tried to check the information button to understand what was the difference, but there was no text at all. (it was systemd-sysinit or another, and the second were 2 devel).

is it still the case ?
How can I choose the good system ? is it possible to change after my choice ?

Thanks
Pierre

Just started updates and urpmi asks me to select either
- systemd-sysvinit or
- sysvinit-legacy
for installation. I suppose when using systemd I should install
systemd-sysvinit, right?

asking you that but with the sysvinit package called just "sysvinit" but
it seems we needed to rename it to get urpmi to really do the right thing.

Due to the vendor list, it should prefer the systemd version and thus
pick it by default for you or use it without question if you pass --auto.

Update went fine, 440 packages including new kernel. Reboot worked without failures.
