systemd has been upgraded to 188 in my WIP. It wasn't easy to pull this off at all. As a result of what I had to do, the following packages are being removed: udev, libgudev, edna, padevchooser, libvalhalla, libplayer, systemd-gtk, systemd-plymouth, dracut-plymouth and bpck-usb-firmware.
Of them, udev/libgudev have been merged into systemd package. system-gtk will be readded later under its new source package. systemd-plymouth and dracut-plymouth are being removed in preparation for the removal of plymouth entirely. I spoke to many users and developers and there is little love for plymouth. I hate it myself as well, as it often gets in the way of debugging the boot process. The rest of the packages were removed because they could not be salvaged as part of the rebuilds I had to do. Plenty of packages were rebuilt because they linked to udev or libgudev. Pulseaudio had to be rebuilt because it would not rebuild against new udev as version 1.1. In total the number of rebuilt packages is ~300 including many sub packages. Upgrade instructions are below. Add this to /etc/pacman-g2.conf, ensuring it is before current. Include = /etc/pacman-g2/repos/ryuotesting5 Add this to /etc/pacman-g2/repos/ryuotesting5: [ryuotesting5] Server=http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/ryuo/ryuotesting5/frugalware-@CARCH@ Replace @CARCH@ with your appropriate architecture. Now: pacman-g2 -Rd systemd-gtk systemd-plymouth plymouth dracut-plymouth pacman-g2 -Syu And reboot. Thanks for testing. _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
