For my needs, Leap release's systemd is too old; TW is not an option for production here. Ideally, I want a current systemd on stable Leap core. To that end, I've managed to get a systemd v228 backport built @ OBS for openSUSE Leap core, https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:pgnd:Base:System It installs & boots, lsb_release -rd Description: openSUSE Leap 42.1 (x86_64) Release: 42.1 uname -rm 4.4.5-1.g09dee88-default x86_64 systemctl --version systemd 228 +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX -IMA +APPARMOR -SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ -LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID -ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN This is atm a Xen DomU guest. The build's admittedly currently a bit of a kludge, and there are a number of complaints in dmesg output dmesg | egrep -i "error|fail" | egrep -vi "command line|gssp|log level" [ 0.232413] acpi PNP0A03:00: _OSC failed (AE_NOT_FOUND); disabling ASPM [ 0.232422] acpi PNP0A03:00: fail to add MMCONFIG information, can't access extended PCI configuration space under this bridge.

The project branches pkgs mainly from Base:System, with a couple additional repos sourced. I'd like to get this build as "clean & robust" as possible for eventual production use, here and for any others interested. Any suggestions re: general cleanup of the project? Glaring problems or omissions? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
