Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package systemd It contains the following two fixes: systemd (44-8) unstable; urgency=low * Team upload. * Use comment=systemd.* syntax in systemd.mount man page. The mount/util-linux version in wheezy is not recent enough to support the new x-systemd* syntax. Closes: #697141 * Don't enable persistent storage of journal log files. The journal in v44 is not yet mature enough. -- Michael Biebl <bi...@debian.org> Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:05:05 +0100 The journal related changes probably deserve a couple of words: The journal in v44 is still pretty new and not yet very robust. Under certain circumstances (e.g. system crash) the journal can become corrupted. While newer versions are much more likely to recover from such a situation, in v44 one needs to remove the journal files in /var/log/journal manually. By not making the journal files persistent, after a reboot the journal will be working again in any case. We also still ship a syslog by default in Debian, so we do have long-term logs. So we decided to not ship /var/log/journal in the package for wheezy. In that case systemd-journald will not store any log files on disk. Full diff between 44-7 and 44-8 is attached. debdiff will unfortunately generate a more verbose diff due to the way systemd handles the git-export patches Cheers, Michael (on behalf of the systemd maintainers) unblock systemd/44-8 -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
