I have sort of a general question regarding this patch series.

Last time I checked (and yeah it's been a while back) systemd-analyze
wasn't self-containing, meaning it would have to have a running
systemd
process and at least a running dbus iirc.

Is that still the case?

That was the case only for some verbs - 'verify' does not need a
running instance. From v250 (next release) it will also be able to
operate on images/root directories.
The 'security' verb did need a running instance, but there's a new --
offline switch in v250.


Thanks for the background information.
I kind of agree with the voices raised in the discussion so far.

As the feature will be available only in a yet to be released version, I would propose to

- wait for the release of systemd 2.50
- build a native variant of the tools first
- package only what is really suitable for "offline" use
- add a nativesdk variant later on

And I think there should be some demo patch to use maybe the analyze part in insane bbclass or so, so we could first of all see the actual benefit of it and even more important can easily track down future regressions.

BTW you said you tested this primary on dunfell, what kind of makes me think how these pieces fit together, as dunfell (likely) will never get the support for the tools mentioned
