[Bug 1152187] Re: [MIR] systemd

[Martin Pitt]

@MIR team: We want to update systemd to the current version 198 instead
of releaseing raring with the old version 44. Some packages like gnome-
session require a newer version than 44, and we would thus not be able
to convert that to logind session tracking. So please feel free to
review the package in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-
dev/+archive/logind/+packages instead, which also has a lot more
standardized packaging (broken out patches instead of single
debian/patches/debian-patches, etc.).

Title:
  [MIR] systemd

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  * The package is in universe and built on all archs:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/44-10ubuntu1

  * Rationale:

  - in a first step we want systemd-services promoted to replace ubuntu-
  system-services

  -  We will also want to move from consolekit to logind soon
  (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-1303
  -consolekit-logind-migration)

  - udev has been merged in the systemd source upstream so we will want
  to build it from there at some point as well

  we don't plan to use the systemd init system at this point

  * Security:

  there has been some security issues in the past
  http://secunia.com/advisories/search/?search=systemd
  http://secunia.com/advisories/48220/
  http://secunia.com/advisories/48208/
  http://secunia.com/advisories/48331/

  Those are mostly logind issue and have been fixed upstream.

  Our current package is outdated but we do plan to update it before
  starting using logind. There should be no issue with the services

  * Quality:
  - there is no RC bug in debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=systemd
  - there is no bug open in launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bugs
  - upstream is active and responsive to issues

  The desktop bugs team is subscribed to the package in launchpad,
  foundations/desktop will maintain the package and look to the bug
  reports regularly.
