uselessd System and Service Manager
Version 7 (2014-11-07)
----------------------
* A new program has been introduced - uselessd-cgls, which
is a lightweight alternative to systemd-cgls written in
Bourne shell. It can be configured out of the build with
--disable-cgls and comes with a manpage.
* Two other new configure switches have been introduced:
--disable-remount-fs and --disable-sleep, to, respectively
strip out the systemd-remount-fs tool for rescanning /etc/fstab,
and the systemd-sleep tool for controlling sleep mode from sysfs
plus applying user configuration (as well as all respective units
and manpages).
* A wide variety of bugfixes.
Version 6 (2014-10-29)
----------------------
* Three new configure options have been added:
--enable-mudflap for building with GCC Mudflap compiler
instrumentation on compilers that support it.
--disable-plymouth for turning off Plymouth event integration
in units and tty-ask-password-agent.
--disable-password-agents to strip the systemd-ask-password,
systemd-reply-password and systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tools
out of the build. Note that the path units will still be shipped
if HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT evaluates to true.
* The KillMode=mixed unit option for sending SIGTERM to the main
process of the control group and then a SIGKILL to all the
remaining ones in the same group, has been backported. The exact
kill signals are configurable, see man 5 systemd.kill for details.
* systemctl has gained an --avoid-bus option which will head
straight for the /run/systemd/private IPC socket and not do
any system bus checks, where such a condition is allowed.
This is a small preliminary step for an intended future
overhaul of the IPC system.
* Some dead code has been removed, shutdownd will no longer
run an unmount in containers (instead relying on the kernel's
namespace destructors), main-no-init no longer checks for
Plymouth running.
Version 5 (2014-10-22)
----------------------
* Preliminary experimental support for running a system-wide
instance of uselessd without being PID1 (init) has been
introduced.
See http://uselessd.darknedgy.net/PidNone for details.
* Don't allow enabling of masked units.
* More vigorous overflow checking in strv_push().
Version 4 (2014-10-06)
----------------------
* systemd-analyze, -activate, -cgtop and -delta can now be
configured out of the build.
* systemd-initctl is now only installed when the HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT
conditional evaluates to true.
* The infamous /proc/cmdline "debug" argument fiasco has been
addressed by renaming it to "systemd.debug", so that it uses
an exclusive namespace. Currently, upstream systemd resolves
the issue by keeping the generic term "debug", but simply
redirecting output to journald as soon as it is available.
As we do not have it, we implement this.
* Various bugfixes from systemd-stable have been backported, like
basic.target and sysinit.target no longer having a
RefuseManualStart option.
Version 3 (2014-09-30)
----------------------
* The systemd-machine-id-setup tool is now entirely standalone
and not also a routine called by PID1. It is governed by a
oneshot unit, and it can be optionally disabled from the build.
* Two new tools have been introduced:
uselessd-hostname-setup
uselessd-loopback-setup
These are once again decoupled from PID1 logic and refactored
into their own tools wrapped around by getopt loops, and
governed by oneshot units. They, too, can be disabled from
the build, and come with brief manpages.
You may need to enable their services through systemctl.
* The test-hostname binary was dropped for being redundant,
as a result. The test was manual to begin with.
* libgcrypt and liblzma (xz) have been dropped from the build,
due to not actually being used. They formerly belonged as
enabling optional extensions to journald behavior.
* An ordering bug in one of the default units was fixed.
* A bugfix for systemd-tmpfiles was backported, concerning files
inheriting the age of their top-level directories.
Version 2 (2014-09-25)
----------------------
* Redundant options from systemd-analyze (set-log-level and dump)
have been removed. Use the ones from the uselessd binary instead,
or by setting the systemd.log_level kernel parameter.
* The internal pager has been removed entirely. Pipes exist for
a reason. Use them. Don't burden the software with junk.
* A double-free bug has been fixed in the can_sleep() function in
sleep-config.c. This means that the test-sleep binary will now
pass successfully.
* Some memory leaks were patched, thanks to findings obtained from
clang-analyzer.
* An unused shared file was removed, as well as some vestiges from
the old manpages. Unused dropin directories were removed from
systemd-delta's array listing.
* The flag for disabling static linking has been removed from the
build. Nonetheless, a modern GNU/Linux system typically requires
shared objects for components such as NSS, gethostname(2) and many
other things. We haven't done anything to explicitly enable static
builds, we just got rid of the build-time error.
