-#  From version 73 onwards upstream uses meson and it can't be configured 
-#  to build without systemd, it seems as it requires a build and running systemd
-#  So this 72.1 may be the last for this pkg, unless they decide to allow a substitute
-#  Do not think of Artix, and Void, and Gentoo, how they do it, they use elogind and systemd-libs!
