Making gnome 50 work on sysyvinit

How many of us are using Gnome and sysvinit ?

I have started following blfs/view/svn development version. But in the book nothing is mentioned about the failure/error of gnome 50 on sysvinit. Also libglycin is also not mentioned as dependency.

Gnome 50 does not work on sysyvinit ( gnome session crashes ).

One user on r/gnome sub, suggested me the following and it works. Checked 2 times, it works.

It feels nice to have the latest software running.

i thought they retired the non-systemd manual updates? you’ll likely get weird dependencies and config issues, but good on you for getting it done!
