[Mageia-dev] systemd 44

Mon Mar 19 13:16:35 CET 2012

Hi,
+
+I would like to push systemd 44.
+
+There are a number of important fixes regarding endian issues (important
+for our arm port) and some others relating to the management of the
+journal log and file sizes (related ot a problem we have in the current
+version which is already patched with one of the upstream fixes for an
+issue in this regard - tho' it's not the full story).
+
+This is the version that will be in Fedora 17 which is approximately in
+line with our schedule, we will be getting the benefit of their testing too.
+
+If this is just crazy talk, I will go through and cherry pick the
+important commits, but this will likely be >60% of the real commits.
+
+I'm obviously running it here.
+
+What say thee?
+
+
+Happy enough to go either way, as the cherry picking won't take too
+long. I'm just not convinced of the benefits vs. the version Fedora are
+going to ship.... :)
+
+
+Col
+
+
+Just to give some summary:
+
+[colin at jimmy systemd (master)]$ git shortlog v43..v44| wc -l
+108
+[colin at jimmy systemd (master)]$ git shortlog v43..v44| grep man: | wc -l
+17
+[colin at jimmy systemd (master)]$ git shortlog v43..v44| grep TODO | wc -l
+13
+[colin at jimmy systemd (master)]$ echo 21; # Lines in the short log for
+user headers
+21
+
+
+So of the 108 lines, 51 are shortlog cruft, and trivial changes (not code).
+
+So only 57 actual commits. 25 of them are related to the journal and we
+will likely include all of those in any cherry picking.
+
+
+The remaining fixes look pretty safe to me.
