Subject: [bug#49969] [PATCH 00/10] gnu: desktop: Add seatd-service-type and greetd-service-type
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2021 00:55:57 +0300

This patch series introduces two new services;

 - seatd-service-type: simple seat management daemon
 - greetd-service-type: simple login daemon

Both services are very minimalistic in nature. Simple seatd daemon
could be said as replacement for elogind-service-type. greetd daemon
is simple replacement for mingetty.

In addition to the base services, special build of pam-mount module is
included as greetd-pam-mount. It is used to provide
auto-(mounting/unmounting) of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. Special build is
required to avoid interference with default pam-mount, if used in
the system.

greetd provides agreety terminal greeter out of the box. Current
greetd-service-type includes configuration for greetd-agreety-session
variations, i.e. only terminal are supported at the moment.

Next step would be adding gtkgreet and/or wlgreet alternatives for
graphical greeter.
