Hi all, I'm working on packaging the systemd 209 release, and I expect to have pkgrel=1 into [testing] in a few hours, barring any unforseen problems. It's a huge release (nearly 2000 commits since 208), and I don't anticipate that this will make it into [core]. *************** Because of the number of substantial internal changes, the post_upgrade will NOT reexec systemd. I strongly advise you to, instead, reboot after upgrading. If you *do* reexec systemd, you'll see all of the applets (machined, logind, journald, etc) killed once when they don't respond to an expected watchdog ping. There may be other breakages of varying verbosity. *************** The full list of changes is here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS Packaging changes of varying importance: - The network interface naming mechanism has been changed. The post_upgrade() has a fairly naive heuristic to try and preserve the existing behavior. - systemd's in-house seccomp filtering has been replaced by linkage to libseccomp (now that the API doesn't suck). I'd really like to keep support for this in our package, so it means moving libseccomp from [extra] to [core]. If it means I need to adopt libseccomp, I'm willing to do this. - libsystemd-{login,journal,daemon,etc}.so are deprecated, and the symbols have been merged into a singular libsystemd.so. You'll still see the legacy library names, but they're now just a bunch of IFUNC symbols. Please raise up any build problems and try to nudge respective upstreams to move to the new library name. - No, I will not ever be building v209 with --enable-kdbus. Happy testing, Dave
