+# systemd-shim for MX Linux
+This repo contains a fork of systemd-shim.  It builds a Debian Buster/Bullseye/Bookworm based debian package for MX Linux.
+It depends on a modified systemd (available here: https://github.com/knelsonmeister/systemd)
+
+## Background:
+Systemd-shim allows a system to boot up using a SYSV init, but still be able to support the modern programs that depend on systemd.  It is not perfect, but it allows for a Linux distribution to support both SYSV init and systemd as a choice in the grub boot menu.  MX Linux does just that.
+Debian used to support systemd-shim, but support was dropped in Debian Buster.  This repo and the systemd repo linked above are an effort to maintain the systemd-shim support in Debian Buster, Debian Bullseye, and Debian Bookworm.
+
+## Current Version: 10-4
+Based on:
+- https://github.com/desrt/systemd-shim
+- http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/systemd-shim/systemd-shim_10-3.debian.tar.xz
+
+## Changes:
+  - Added new patch: buster-support
+      - Patch adds supports for querying LoadState needed to reboot/shutdown
+  - Updated debian/patches/series file to add new patch
+  - Updated debian/changelog to increment version to 10-4
+
+## How To Build:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/knelsonmeister/systemd-shim.git
+cd systemd-shim
+dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b
+cd ..
+```
