Bug#698555: unblock: systemd/44-8
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package systemd
It contains the following two fixes:
systemd (44-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Team upload.
* Use comment=systemd.* syntax in systemd.mount man page. The
mount/util-linux version in wheezy is not recent enough to support the new
x-systemd* syntax. Closes: #697141
* Don't enable persistent storage of journal log files. The journal in v44
is not yet mature enough.

The journal related changes probably deserve a couple of words: The
journal in v44 is still pretty new and not yet very robust. Under
certain circumstances (e.g. system crash) the journal can become
corrupted. While newer versions are much more likely to recover from
such a situation, in v44 one needs to remove the journal files in
/var/log/journal manually.
By not making the journal files persistent, after a reboot the journal
will be working again in any case.
We also still ship a syslog by default in Debian, so we do have
long-term logs.
So we decided to not ship /var/log/journal in the package for wheezy.
In that case systemd-journald will not store any log files on disk.
Full diff between 44-7 and 44-8 is attached.
debdiff will unfortunately generate a more verbose diff due to the way systemd
handles the git-export patches
Cheers,
Michael
