Hi, implementing the split in Fedora deserves a Changes page, because of the need to coordinate with other components of the distribution (comps, some packages, anaconda): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/systemd_package_split
All the details are described on the Change page. If anything is missing/unclear, please let me know. Fedora maintainers, feel free to add yourself as Owners. I'll submit the change for announcement in a few days. I prepared a trial repo [1,2] to test updates. It turns out that dnf behaves a bit differently than yum. In [3] support for package splits was supposedly added. E.g. by setting Obsoletes:systemd<227-10 in the new systemd-container subpackage, when upgrading from systemd-227-7, both systemd and systemd-container would be installed. Indeed yum does that, but dnf does not. For dnf, it is necessary to also add the same Obsolets line in the main package (self-obsolete). There's a bug open about this [4], but the with the work-around both dnf and yum dtrt, i.e. install new subpackages on upgrade, so there's no problem.
