#3582 Change: UseSystemdForManagingPerUserEnvironmentVariables
Closed: Rejected by salimma. Opened by alking.

Closed: Rejected
Reopen Issue

Rely on systemd's systemd.environment-generator functionality for managing per-user environment variables (such as appending ~/local/.bin and ~/bin to an user's $PATH) instead of individual shellrc scripts (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc etc).

Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended.
The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.

REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the Discourse discussion linked above. Additional discussion may happen on the Fedora Devel mailing list.

I'm not convinced that this change is worth the effort currently, without handing more cases. +0 at this point.

I'm pretty convinced this would break too many things, since it relies on systemd being invoked to setup the environment. At least with containers, that's not guaranteed.

REJECTED (+0, 3,-6) the change as written is rejected, there is not enough consideration for systemd-less environments. We encourage the change proposal owner to resubmit after addressing these points and provide more configuration examples
