- A bunch of various fixes for memory and behaviour, in many different
components (bootctl, systemd, udev, systemd-networkd, systemd-homed,
systemd-logind, systemd-resolve, systemd-repart, systemd-analyze,
systemd-dissect, systemd-boot, pam modules, systemd-storagetm,
systemd-journal-remote, kernel-install)
- Improved detection of virtualization (Google Compute Engine, Apple Virt)
- Updates for shell completions and docs
- An update for hardware database
Our config files in /etc/ were marked as %config(noreplace). This means that the
would not be replaced on upgraded if local modifications have been made. But
when we moved them to /usr/lib, they would be be renamed to .rpmsave, if they
had local modifications. This is not what I expected, but what rpm apparently
does. So we need to add them as %ghost to prevent the removal. This is probably
for the better anyway.
... (e.g. /etc/systemd/system.conf → /usr/lib/systemd/systemd.conf).
Both config file locations were already supported, and the files
installed in /etc/ were "empty" (i.e. they had only comments and section
headers). The move does not change the configuration, but just makes
/etc more empty by default. See
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/6495361c7d for more
discussion and details.
The idea was that it's nicer to keep that config in .spec where it's subject
to syntax highlighting. split-files.py was supposed to a stand-alone program.
But in practice this split is confusing, because file rules are listed in two
places and we need to modify split-files.py quite often. This will be easier if
everything is in one file.

The LICENSE.LGPL2.1 file is installed into the same systemd license
directory for both the base systemd and -libs. Because the base
systemd requires the -libs sub package it's a duplicate and will
always be there, it shouldn't cause an issue but it seems in some
cases the duplication into the same directory causes issues with
ostree so remove it from the base systemd package as it will always
be there due to the hard dep on the -libs subpackage.

We currently have grubby-8.40-72.fc39 and sdubby-1.0-3.fc39.
systemd had 'Conflicts: grubby < 8.40-72', which is satisfied by grubby.
But sdubby has 'Provides: grubby' (with no version), which prevented
installation:
$ sudo rpm -i ./sdubby-1.0-3.fc39.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
grubby < 8.40-72 conflicts with (installed) systemd-udev-254.2-7.fc39.x86_64
The rpm docs don't actually say what the meaning of the 'if' is:
is it only satisfied by actual package names, or also by Provides. But
experiments suggest that Provides are not used. The rich dependency seems
to avoid the issue.
