systemd-pcrphase and systemd-measure and initrd-* units are moved to systemd-udev.
systemd-udev should be part of the initrd, and those tools don't make much sense
in systems without hardware (i.e. containers). (systemd-measure could possibly be
useful, but we can always move it back if there's a good reason.)
This tweaks the sysusers.d handling logic so that 'm' entries are
now translated to a series of groupadd + useradd + usermod call.
The last usermod call is the notable change, effectively affecting
the list of secondary groups now.
- Remove swap policy. Default amount of swap (8GB?) is a lot lower than
what we use internally with the swap policy. Which frequently leads to
GNOME getting killed
(e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1941170, and other
BZs not linked here). Internally we use 0.5x-1x size of physical memory
for swap via swapfiles (this will be documented in systemd upstream).
In simple cases of using more memory than is available (but without
memory pressure), the Kernel OOM killer can handle killing the
offending process.
- Expand the memory pressure policy to system.slice, user-.slice, and
all user owned slices. Support for ManagedOOM*= on user services was
added in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20690 which allows
us to be more fine grained on the pressure monitoring at the user
level. In addition to the system.slice and user-.slice PSI monitoring
this should result in a better systemd-oomd experience for desktop
systems.
Instead, add systemd-pam to pungi-fedora's multilib whitelist:
https://pagure.io/pungi-fedora/pull-request/1113
This should help with flatpak runtime packaging so that we can avoid
having to ship systemd-pam in the flatpak container.
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10952: rpmdev-bumpspec apparently does
not like the way the Release field was conditionalized.
But since the switch to rpmautospec this isn't important, since the
v-r string will be generated by rpmautospec. I went over the changelog
and manually inserted tags for the old builds.
Unfortunately there's another issue, rpmautospec cannot deal with
%include: https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/rpmautospec/pull-request/267
Numbers for the latest builds are adjusted to match what koji lists.
Now that the tmpfiles snippet is a separate file shipped as part
of the networkd package, we can ship the sysusers snippet as a part
of the networkd package as well.
It turns out that with the Obsoletes, dnf will just install the normal
systemd package if systemd-standalone-* is requested. The commit message
for b36512ad8f which added this says I tested
with local package builds (where it works), but not when going through the
full repo with all packages.
I'm adding the Provides instead, so that it's possible to request on or
the other more easily.
I asked on fedora-devel@, and the lone reply was from Matthew Miller
who tried it once when it was introduced and hasn't used it since.
Dropping this removes the last dependency on libgcrypt and libgpg-error
in libsystemd, significantly reducing our installation footprint.
Right now libmicrohttpd is still linked to libgcrypt, so
libsystemd-journal-remote subpackage will pull libgcrypt in.
When -Dversion-tag was initially added in edaa157918,
I used "v" without any comment. But upstream does not use "v", so we have
versions which don't compare directly:
$ build/systemctl --version|head -n1
systemd 251 (251-66-g7e46a5c+)
$ systemctl --version|head -n1
systemd 251 (v251-1.fc37)
And in 3c4f9413a7, when -Dshared-lib-tag= was
introduced, %{version} was replaced by %{version_no_tilde}, again without any
specific comment. For the shared-lib-tag, it makes sense to use _no_tilde,
because it's enough to have non-conflicting file names, and we don't compare
the tags. I guess I wanted both uses to be consistent. But if we substitute
the tilde, we can't do proper comparisons.
I noticed the following issue: with sd-boot installed from git and a
package, upgrades wouldn't work:
Comparing versions: "systemd-boot v251-1.fc37" < "systemd-boot 251-rc1-390-g3603f15
Skipping "/boot/efi/EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi", since newer boot loader version in place already.
The two changes should make those comparisons work properly in most
cases.
I tested this with 'sudo dnf --installroot=…', with both
systemd+system-udev installed in one transaction, and in two separate
transactions. Users are created as expected in both cases.
