[archlinux] Binary logs got to us!

I hope you are already scared to live, because otherwise Dave will come to you.

No, that's not right, Dave will come to you anyway. And Lennart and many other good people.

We continue the emergence of an alternative reality, and this time it is NOT testing. More precisely, not really.

Lennart Kodit stubbornly and persistently, and now, starting from the release of systemd 38, He That Magazine is already implemented in it, but its stability is doubtful. The 41st version has already appeared in [testing] and is being sent to your computer!

systemd v42 will be in [extra]. Yes, yes, this is it.

Since the release of v41, most of the important bugs have been fixed, but there are still some annoying misunderstandings that may fix to version 42. Assuming what is really going to happen, the system maintainer, Dave Reisner, will place it in an extraordinary stable repository.

What does this mean for people who do not use sistems?

• Never mind. At all. You can live the same way as before, no one will interfere with your lives, skinny skinny creatures will not crawl into your pants at night. Your (most significant for you) relatives and animals are likely to remain alive.
• However, you can harbor a bit of fear in your soul, well, that was.
• You probably can not continue to read.

And what if you use sistems after all?

• New features! systemd-cat, systemd-cgtop, systemd-journalctl. If you really need a complete list of features and bugfixes, read the NEWS file in the git, there is nothing to do with it.
• Since the same log will turn on by default, you no longer need to have syslog running (syslog-ng, rsyslog, any). The same Log, by default, writes to / run / systemd / journal (it means that when rebooting, binary logs will go where they belong). If you suddenly want to leave logs for memory, simply create / var / log / journal and That Journal will find it yourself and start mastering it. If you really want to leave syslog, tell him to write in / run / systemd / journal / socket, and not in / dev / log.
• systemadm stood out in a separate repository (upstream). Therefore in system AUR appeared systemd-ui-git. If he gets enough votes, he will be raised in the rights of a white man with a certificate from a Christian priest and sent to [community].
• Nothing will change in systemd-arch-units and systemd-initscripts. These packages remain in [community]. Manteyner optimistically hopes that these packages will disappear, because their functionality is transferred to some upstream project.

There are no plans to immediately install systemd as the default system. But according to some developers, in the long term (for 5 years) they do not see a real alternative to systemd. Many packages in core / extra already support systemd and in the future this distribution will only progress.

And yes, it was not an alternate reality. The most common. Wait for updates, gentlemen, and may the Force be with you!
