Public bug reported: [Impact]
The most recent version of systemd in the v259 branch is v259.9: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v259.9 Stable systemd releases include: - Bug fixes - Documentation fixes - Test fixes - hwdb updates (HWE) As long as upstream makes stable releases on the v259 branch, we want to provide those updates to users. [Test Plan] (a) The systemd package has an extensive autopkgtest suite that includes the same unit tests and integration tests used in the upstream CI. These tests must pass, and are the primary QA for this SRU. (b) Smoke test on Ubuntu Desktop. (c) Smoke test on Ubuntu Server. (d) Release upgrade using do-release-upgrade will be done from applicable stable releases. (e) The systemd-hwe autopkgtest must pass, which requires a trivial upload of that package to drop duplicate hwdb entries. [Where problems could occur] Because systemd includes many important components, the surface area for regressions is fairly large. This is why the test plan includes the extensive upstream tests, a release upgrade test, and smoke tests on server and desktop. Stable systemd releases do not: - Add new features - Remove support for existing features - Change public API/ABI Note that changes to the internal libsystemd-shared are a normal occurrence. [Other info] Many patches are dropped because they are included in the new upstream version. See the changelog for details. Stonking is following the systemd v261 branch. The corresponding stable release for that branch is v261.3, which is already in Stonking. The systemd-hwe package must be updated to drop any duplicate hwdb entries (this is tested in src:systemd-hwe at build and autopkgtest time). ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: systemd-hwe (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu Resolute) Importance: Medium Assignee: Nick Rosbrook (enr0n) Status: Triaged ** Affects: systemd-hwe (Ubuntu Resolute) Importance: Medium Assignee: Nick Rosbrook (enr0n) Status: Triaged ** Tags: systemd-sru-next ** Also affects: systemd (Ubuntu Resolute) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Resolute) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Resolute) Assignee: (unassigned) => Nick Rosbrook (enr0n) ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Resolute) Status: New => Triaged ** Description changed: [Impact] The most recent version of systemd in the v259 branch is v259.9.
