Re: [systemd-devel] Backport git notes
Hey Lennart, all, Lennart Poettering [2015-08-27 18:02 +0200]: I used to add Backport: bugfix style git notes to systemd commits I deemed backport-worthy. These headers have not been added to any commits since we moved to github (primarily, because the notes weren't ported over for quite some time). Nobody complained about this. Which makes me wonder if anyone actually cares. TL;DR: I don't. Zbigniew, Michael, Martin, Lukasz, Michal, do you actually care for these git notes? Did you ever use them? Did you even know about them? I did know about them, and back in the days when we had much longer release cycles I (that is, Debian/Ubuntu) mostly consumed them via the -stable branches, and just slurped them in wholesale into our packages for the current development series. Now that we have frequent release cycles and a much better CI both upstream and downstream I almost entirely stopped (having to) backport stuff. We used to have a dozen up to ~ 50 backported patches in the package, now it's usually 0 to 2. For packages in our stable releases we've never used them, but always just cherry-picked individual (and very few) patches. So in summary: Carefully marking patches for backporting has been obsoleted by CI and frequent releases for us. Which is infinitely better in just every way -- we now have great releases which we can more or less just use. :-) Thank you for checking!

[systemd-devel] [ANNOUNCE] systemd v225
Hi Here's the next version of systemd, v225: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/archive/v225.tar.gz Many bug-fixes, code cleanups, man-page extensions and some new additions to networkd and machined. Also, please don't forget to sign up quickly to systemd.conf 2015, if you plan to attend. There's only a limited number of tickets available. For details see: https://systemd.events/ CHANGES WITH 225: * machinectl gained a new verb 'shell' which opens a fresh shell on the target machine. It is similar to 'login', but spawns the shell directly. The pseudo machine '.host' now refers to the local host and is used by default. Hence, 'machinectl shell' can be used as replacement for 'su' which spawns the session as a fresh systemd unit. * systemd-networkd learned to cope with private-zone DHCP options and allows other programs to query the values.

[systemd-devel] Backport git notes
Heya, I used to add Backport: bugfix style git notes to systemd commits I deemed backport-worthy. These headers have not been added to any commits since we moved to github (primarily, because the notes weren't ported over for quite some time). Nobody complained about this. Which makes me wonder if anyone actually cares. Zbigniew, Michael, Martin, Lukasz, Michal, do you actually care for these git notes? Did you ever use them? Did you even know about them? If nobody cares I can stop doing the work for them, of course, and less work I always like. The git notes usage in our repo is documented here: https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/systemd/Backports/ Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Red Hat ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
