Package: systemd-shim Version: 10-3 Severity: normal User: pkg-systemd-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: shim-patches-removal
Hello Debian systemd-shim Maintainers, The Debian systemd package is currently carrying two debian-specific patches to enable usage of systemd-shim on Debian systems. In particular, we patch some code to continue even if /run/systemd/machines/ and /run/systemd/machines/ don't exist[1][2]. These two patches could be avoided if systemd-shim would create the relevant directories during early boot (sometime in rcS). Therefore we would like for systemd-shim to provide these directories so we can drop these patches. If you ship such a SysV init script, please make sure to mask that, so it is not accidentally run when systemd is the active PID 1 (assuming the SysV init script is called /etc/init.d/systemd-shim, the symlink would be /lib/systemd/system/systemd-shim.service → /dev/null). We intend to drop the patches before buster is released in the not too distant future. When we do that, we will bump the severity of this bug report to serious.
