[systemd-devel] Misc patches from the Debian systemd package
Hi I'm part of the team working on updating the Debian systemd package to v214. As part of that work I have been rebasing and updating the Debian specific patches, and found several that might be appropriate for upstream. While I'm not the original author of these I have been rebasing and updating them, so while most the credit goes to the original autors, any blame should fall on me :-P Regards Jon Severinsson ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel

Hi Jóhann, Kay already merged a few from this series. As for the other ones, revisiting them might give Debian the necessary energy to get rid of them. This seems like a useful exercise.

It is probably just not obvious enough. The packagers who add patches to the Debian package should probably leave notes in the patch there why this patch isn't upstream, or not meant to go upstream.

Perhaps next time ;) Well, I did filter out 30 Debian-specific hacks, and did gather feedback from several other team members over IRC before sending it, but obviously that didn't reach everyone... ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel

It would be interesting to see how much added maintenance burdens takes place in the Debian community for the sake of choice. You dont happen to know if Debian collects that data do you?
