[Bug 1843755] Re: [FFe] Please accept systemd 242 to Eoan

[Steve Langasek]

I do not think this FFe request provides sufficient rationale for why we
would want to make an exception.  (Neither Debian testing having a newer
version, nor "carrying fewer patches", are a compelling reason.)

It also does not include any in-depth analysis of the risks, beyond
saying that 241 is "safer".  If there is no more detailed analysis of
what has changed upstream in 242, then we should default to safer.

Title:
  [FFe] Please accept systemd 242 to Eoan

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Eoan currently has 241-7ubuntu1, Debian stable has 241 and Debian testing moved to 242 last week.
  While version 241 is the safer choice for Eoan (from v241 and v242) since it is widely tested updating to v242 will allow us to carry fewer patches in Eoan and makes moving to the next release easier.

  The proposed package is tested in Bileto and all tests are passing (except for a few unrelated failures):
  https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/3797

  The final version will be 242-6ubuntu1 and I'm tidying up the
  changelog, too.

  I plan merging 242-7, too, going forward but this will not need an
  FFe.
