Phoronix: systemd's Growth Over 2022

With the end of the year upon us, it's interesting and fun running GitStats on various prominent open-source projects and looking at some of the key growth metrics over the past year. Here is a look at how systemd's Git activity has paced in 2022 compared to years prior...

1,7MLOC. That's a helluva init process. How much memory does this PID 1 use already?

VmRSS memory states 13880 kB on my current machine

It's so much more than an init process and made it possible to remove tons of often badly maintained and duplicated code in many projects.

Not enough to out-weight the benefits even when running hundreds of lightweight containers.

@ topic: Awesome to see lots of activity. I'm personally especially looking forward to see better homed integration in DEs so we can finally have encrypted home folders during suspend.

Yes! The more the faster it grows, the sooner it can consume … everything!

3300K private mem and 9800K shared mem for PID1 after 3.5 days of uptime for me btw.

The "1.7M lines of code" figure is completely bogus. I don't know what tool is being used to give this total, but it's very broken.

Imagine if Michael actually put some effort into verifying his claims, instead of just spamming low quality, copy-paste articles. 😅

I imagine that lines of code in this case is "number of committed lines"

A clean clone seems to look more like this at the moment;

​systemd $ cloc .
...
​Language files blank  comment code
...
​SUM:     3166  194498 73557   731343
...
​systemd $ cloc src
...
​Language files blank  comment code
...​
SUM:     2338  156630 53081   555721​

The src/ directory is about 500K lines and contains wayyyy more than just the init process. Got any more low IQ comments?

I'm working on it

Obvious ragebait is obvious.

So naturally I'm waiting to see who bites.

systemd is not just init process. It has an init process, and 68 other binaries. The vast majority of that code had nothing to do with init.

Please refrain from making factual statements.
