Hi all, after we frequently get requests to enable new systemd-features we currently can not maintain on our own for various reasons (e.g. other default-tools on openSUSE, missing system-integration, not enough knowledge about the technology, or simply the feature isn't stable by upstream yet), we have decided to create a new sub-package "systemd-experimental" to make those features still available for interested users. Initially, this package will contain: - homed (Home Area/User Account Manager) - pstore (A service to archive contents of pstore) - repart (Automatically grow and add partitions) - userdb (JSON User/Group Record Support) And with 248, which should come soonish, it's planned to add: - sysext (Merge, unmerge, list, and refresh system extension hierarchies) - oomd (A userspace out-of-memory (OOM) killer) The plan is to ship this new package, after the move to cgroup v2 is done in Tumbleweed, which should happen in one of the next snapshots. One last important note, those features are considered not maintained by us and if you encounter any issues with those components, please report bugs directly to systemd-upstream (https://github.com/systemd/systemd). Once we judge a feature stable enough, it will be moved to another sub-package, or directly to the main package. We are looking forward to get your feedback or suggestions for improvements!
