Hi,<br><br>I'm one of maintainers of GNOME desktop for Slackware Linux (<a href="http://www.droplinegnome.org">www.droplinegnome.org</a>). Slackware like Debian doesn't use systemd needed by some gnome applications as its default initialization system. For now Control Center uses systemd to set system time. I saw that debian uses datetime function from gnome 3.2 (patched gnome-control-center and gnome-settings-daemon reverted changes since 3.2). For this purpose I wrote a program which implements timedate interface from systemd what does it possible to set Time/Date in Gnome Control Center without systemd. This program (slack-timedate, <a href="http://dl.flevum.de/slack-timedate/">http://dl.flevum.de/slack-timedate/</a>) isn't just a snippet from systemd but is written using GLib and GDBus, it does just the same thing as timedate from systemd. I intend to work further on slack-timedate and to add new functionality if other parts of gnome become dependent on systemd. I thought that I could extend my program to get it working also for Debian. What do you think about it?<br>
