Bug 515702 – sys-apps/systemd-?-stable-upstream-git ebuild request

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ulenrich 2014-06-29 21:22:57 UTC]

I seems to me systemd-214 gets some love upstream at 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd-stable/

The git log shows ca 40 commits since release of systemd-214
Maybe it is possible to gentoo release systemd-214-r40
?

Though I am quiet happy using sys-apps/systemd-214
until now without these patches :)

Thanks for the heads-up.

 systemd-214_p57.ebuild

was intentionally removed in
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517174#c2
????

I would like to follow a more stable upstream :(
/me reopened bug: needinfo

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2014-07-15 19:45:04 UTC]

I intentionally removed it because 214 won't be the stable candidate and the stable branches hasn't proved to be more "stable" (our last play with upstream "stable" branch ended with it being completely broken and we needing to hardmask it).

Also, no of us (systemd maintainers) are running it :/

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2014-07-15 19:46:08 UTC]

What I would do (if we had time, that is not the case :'( ) would be to try to follow Fedora patches for that... at least we know a lot of people are using it, while that is not the case for systemd "stable" branches

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2014-07-15 19:48:38 UTC]

Also, 215 is including many more bugfixes than 214-stable branch... is it having some major change regarding features to force people to want to run another branch? I could revert the ebuild again... but I wouldn't consider it more "stable" and would be worse maintained than the version we are using that is also the version upstream is really taking care of

[Comment 7 Ulenrich 2014-07-24 17:58:39 UTC]

title changed from
sys-apps/systemd-214-stable-upstream-git  - Please consider a rev bump
to  sys-apps/systemd-215-stable-upstream-git

Maybe this time upstream can deliver something valueable ...
if so, I would like to see an ebuild like
sys-apps/systemd-215.4999  givin a git live  ...

[Comment 8 Mike Gilbert 2014-07-24 20:26:29 UTC]

Personally, I have no interest in maintaining several live ebuilds.

[Comment 9 Ulenrich 2014-07-24 21:11:21 UTC]

It would/should empower users to inform Gentoo maintainers
if there is an upstream patch useful.

...if upstream systemd-215-stable git will be of any value...

*** Bug 519418 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 11 Pacho Ramos 2015-09-07 18:17:27 UTC]

Looks like stable branch is not available anymore (probably because systemd releases occur much more often)
