[Mageia-dev] ANN: For the brave. systemd v185 in cauldron updates_testing

Mon Jun 18 01:15:40 CEST 2012

Hi,
+
+I've just submitted systemd v185 to updates_testing.
+
+There are several important changes worth noting:
+ 1. "systemd-sysvinit" has been merged into the main "systemd" package
+thus effectively making systemd the only choice for booting.
+ 2. "systemd" package now contains systemd-udevd binary thus replacing
+the separate udev package (I see no reason to keep the binaries in
+separate packages).
+ 3. The libudev major number has been bumped so several packages will
+need rebuilt when this hits main, but so far I've only rebuilt lvm2 for
+updates_testing. This seems to be enough for basic testing (I have LVM
+here).
+ 4. Due to the new udevd path, dracut needed updating too. I've updated
+this and submitted to release (as it's backwards compatible). At a later
+date I'll update to latest dracut.
+
+Please ensure you are capable of restoring your system in the event of
+things messing up. This will mean booting and manually downgrading
+packages and reinstalling the older udev package.
+
+If all is well, this will go into cauldron at the end of the week.
+
+Cheers
+
