New subject: [opensuse-factory] assigning eth0 to only installed NIC in 13.1

23 Apr 2013


      Hi all,

systemd v202 should be landed in Factory soon. It contains a lot of
changes (and bug fixes) compared to v195 we had in 12.3, like (this is
an extract from the .changes I wrote):
  + udev now supports different naming policies for network
    interface for predictable names (this one is disabled
by /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/network.conf until network team had a chance to
look at it and test it). This should be enabled by default in Factory
soon (see
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterface... )
    This can be also be turned off with kernel command line switch:
net.ifnames=0 (when the tmpfiles.d is removed in the near future)
  + udev gained support for loading additional device properties
    from an indexed database. %udev_hwdb_update macro should be
    used by packages adding entries to this database.
  + Journal gained support for "Message Catalog", indexed database
    to link up additional information with journal entries. 
    %journal_catalog_update macro should be used by packages adding
    %entries to this database.
  + New rpm macros has been added: %udev_rules_update(), 
    %_udevhwdbdir, %_udevrulesdir, %_journalcatalogdir,
    %_tmpfilesdir, %_sysctldir.

  + "age" field for tmpfiles entries can be set to 0, forcing
    removal of files matching this entry.
  + coredumpctl gained "gdb" verb to invoke gdb on selected
    coredump.
  + In service files, %U can be used for configured user name of
    the service.
  + nspawn can be invoked without a controlling TTY.
  + systemd and nspawn can accept socket file descriptors when
    started for socket activation. This allow socket activated
    nspawn containers.
  + logind can now automatically suspend/hibernate/shutdown system
    on idle.
  + ConditionACPower can be used in unit file to detect if AC power
    source is connected or if system is on battery power.
  + EnvironmentFile= in unit files supports file globbing.
  + Behaviour of PrivateTmp=, ReadWriteDirectories=,
    ReadOnlyDirectories= and InaccessibleDirectories= has
    changed. The private /tmp and /var/tmp directories are now
    shared by all processes of a service (which means
    ExecStartPre= may now leave data in /tmp that ExecStart= of
    the same service can still access). When a service is
    stopped its temporary directories are immediately deleted
    (normal clean-up with tmpfiles is still done in addition to
    this though).
  + Resource limits (as exposed by cgroup controlers) can be
    controlled dynamically at runtime for all units, using 
    "systemctl set-cgroup-attr foobar.server cgroup.attribute
    value". Those settings are stored persistenly on disk.
  + systemd-vconsole-setup will now copy all fonts settings to all
    allocated VTs.
  + timedated now exposes CanNTP property to indicate if a local
    NTP service is available.
  + pstore file system is mounted by default, if available.
  + SMACK policies are loaded at early boot, if available.
  + Timer units now support calendar time events.
  + systemd-detect-virt detect xen PVs.
  + Some distributions specific LSB targets has been dropped:
    $x-display-manager, $mail-transfer-agent,
    $mail-transport-agent, $mail-transfer-agent, $smtp, $null. As
    well mail-transfer-agent.target and syslog.target has been
    removed.
  + systemd-journal-gatewayd gained SSL support and now runs as
    unprivileged user/group
    "systemd-journal-gateway:systemd-journal-gateway"
  + systemd-analyze will read, when available, boot time
    performance from EFI variable from boot loader supporting it.
  + A new generator for automatically mounting EFI System Partition
    (ESP) to /boot (if empty and no other file system has been
    configured in fstab for it).
  + logind will now send out PrepareForSleep(false) out
    unconditionally, after coming back from suspend.
  + tmpfiles gained a new "X" line type, that allows
    configuration of files and directories (with wildcards) that
    shall be excluded from automatic cleanup ("aging").
  + udev default rules set the device node permissions now only
    at "add" events, and do not change them any longer with a
    later "change" event.
  + A new bootctl tool has been added that is an interface for
    certain EFI boot loader operations.
  + A new tool kernel-install has been added to install kernel
    images according to Boot Loader Specification.
  + A new tool systemd-activate can be used to test socket
    activation.
  + A new group "systemd-journal" is now owning journal files,
    replacing "adm" group.
  + journalctl gained "--reverse" to show output in reverse order,
    "--pager-end" to jump at the end of the journal in the
    pager (only less is supported) and "--user-unit" to filter for
    user units.
  + New unit files has been addedto ease for systemd usage in
    initrd.
  + "systemctl start" now supports "--irreversible" to queue
    operations which can be reserved. It is now used to make
    shutdown requests more robust.
  + Auke Kok's bootchart has been merged and relicensed to
    LGPLv2.1+.
  + nss-myhostname has been merged in systemd codebase.
  + some defaults sysctl values are now set by default: the safe
    sysrq options are turned on, IP route verification is turned
    on, and source routing disabled. The recently added hardlink
    and softlink protection of the kernel is turned on.
  + journald will now explicitly flush journal files to disk at the
    latest 5 min after each write and will mark file offline until
    next read. This should increase reliability in case of crash.
  + remote-fs-setup.target target has been added to pull in
    specific services when at least one remote file system is to be
    mounted.
  + timers.target and paths.target have been added as canonical
    targets to pull user timer and path units, similar to
    sockets.targets.
  + udev daemon now sets default number of worker processes in
    parallel based on number of CPUs instead of RAM.
  + Most unit file settings which takes likst of items can now be
reset by assigning empty string to them, using drop-in.
  + Add support for drop-in configuration file for units.
  + Most unit file settings which takes likst of items can now be
    reset by assigning empty string to them, using drop-in.
  + 'hostnamectl set-hostname' allows setting FQDN hostnames.
  + fractional time intervals are now parsed properly.
  + localectl can list available X11 keymaps.
  + systemd-analyze dot can filter for specific units and has been
    rewritten in C.
  + systemctl gained "list-dependencies" command.
  + Inhibitors are now honored no only in GNOME.
 + 'systemctl list-jobs' got some polishing. '--type=' argument
    may now be passed more than once. 'systemctl list-sockets' has
    been added.
  + systemd gained a new unit 'systemd-static-nodes.service'
    that generates static device nodes earlier during boot, and
    can run in conjunction with udev.
  + systemd-nspawn now places all containers in the new /machine
    top-level cgroup directory in the name=systemd hierarchy.
  + bootchart can now store its data in the journal.
  + journactl can now take multiple --unit= and --user-unit=
    switches.
  + The cryptsetup logic now understands the "luks.key=" kernel
    command line switch. If a configured key file is missing, it
    will fallback to prompting the user.
