sys-power/switcheroo-control currently has a hard dependency on Systemd. It would be very useful to be able to use this package with elogind as well. Would it be possible to support either elogind or systemd for this package?
Has anyone tested it on a non-systemd setup? Supposedly it only works with systemd
It seems I was not the only one to wonder about using it without systemd. While patching the ebuild to make it work without Systemd, I found a forum post which already included everything needed: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8738677.html?sid=e6c42817200127ce40e9e6d6b33a75b9 I have tested the ebuild with these modifications on a system with two GPUs and it works. I have opened a PR on github with a -r1 of the current ebuild with the required modifications.

Install service files for both unconditionally following current policy of not relying on USE flags to control single-files installation.
