-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-9118 2011-07-06 20:55:42 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : systemd Product : Fedora 15 Version : 26 Release : 8.fc15 URL : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd Summary : A System and Service Manager Description : systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This systemd update brings the following changes: * Fixes a bug where systemd 'forgot' to start enabled services. Known cases were sendmail and squid, whose scripts in `/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/` could trigger a race condition in systemd. * Fixes compatibility with kernel versions that offer a different set of capabilities than the version systemd was compiled against. Affected services were failing with `status=218/CAPABILITIES`. * Improves the behavior of the `shutdown` command. It now parses time specifications the same way the SysVinit and upstart implementations did. The '`-k`' parameter now works. Passing a wall message on the command line does not remove the standard message anymore. * Fixes the accidental trimming of cgroups on re-exec of systemd that prevented libvirtd from starting new guests. * Fixes loading of template units when following symlinks. * Fixes a crash in an error path of `systemadm`. * The error message *See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details* is now slightly less confusing as it includes the unit name. * Improves compatibility with customized kernels (with disabled swap, hugepages, or mqueue) * `systemd-tmpfiles` now continues processing if it cannot access all files. This could happen on some FUSE filesystems. * Fixes a crash in `tty-ask-password-agent`. * The pager used by `systemctl` can be now overridden using the `SYSTEMD_PAGER` environment variable. Using an empty string disables the pager. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Jul 8 2011 Michal Schmidt <[email protected]> - 26-8 - Drop the pidfile patch for now.
