Don't depend on systemd

Unpacking yggdrasil (0.3.9) ...
dpkg: error processing archive yggdrasil-0.3.9-i386.deb (--install):

There are Linux distros such as AntiX (Debian) and Gentoo which doesn't uses systemd. Can't install yggdrasil in those.

This will require alternative packages to be created.

[danimesq]

Yggdrasil isn't distributed for Gentoo?
About .deb, the installer can first verify if the distro uses systemd before working with 'etc/systemd/system/yggdrasil.service'.

[neilalexander]

I’m not aware that anyone has created a Gentoo package yet.

Installing manually (i.e. with ./build) on FreeBSD works fine. systemd isn't even /available/ for that platform.

Thin would be better directed at yggdrasil-go-packagers (which needs to be a thing, because it's not yet)

I have had Gentoo ebuilds in my overlay for a while: https://github.com/wstrm/gentoo-overlay/blob/master/net-p2p/yggdrasil-go/yggdrasil-go-0.3.13.ebuild

Supports both Systemd and OpenRC on Gentoo.

You can add my overlay:

eselect repository enable optmzr

Or just copy and paste the ebuild and install with the ebuild command.

I've been looking into adding it to Gentoo, but I haven't had time.
