[Bug 1867972] Re: [FFe] Please accept systemd 245.2-1ubuntu1 to Focal

[Steve Langasek]

That documents the new systemd units in the changelog, but doesn't
explain what the impact is of these changes.  There don't appear to have
been any modprobe calls from systemd units previously, what calls have
been moved to these units?  All modprobe calls previously handled
internally to udev?

According to the changelog entry, the new tracing .mount is mounting
tracefs at a different location than I have here already mounted by
default, what's the impact of that?

Title:
  [FFe] Please accept systemd 245.2-1ubuntu1 to Focal

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Focal currently has 244.3-1ubuntu1.

  Upstream released 245 after the Focal Feature Freeze date, but
  updating to v245 will allow us to carry fewer patches in Focal and
  have the latest upstream fixes without cherry-picking the important
  ones.

  The proposed package is tested in Bileto and there are no unfixed regressions compared to the results of the latest tests.

  The fixed gpsd upload invalidated the default excuses page, but it is still available at:
  https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_39a8dbb93caf4ec889f8a1b7f69885db/bileto-3801-excuses/2020-03-18_14:40:01/3801_focal_excuses.html

  The changelog is not final in the Bileto PPA, the final one is at:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~rbalint/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+git/systemd/+ref/ubuntu-focal

  New notable upstream features, such as systemd-homed and systemd-
  repart are _not_ enabled in this upload.

  Please find the full NEWS file at:
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v245/NEWS

  There is one notable failing test, netplan.io's which is failing in
  the release pocket, too. I'd like to have this passing, too, with
  systemd 245 before in migrates to the release pocket.
