systemd System and Service Manager
CHANGES WITH 182:
- * udev sources merged
+ * udev: all udev sources are merged into the systemd source tree now.
+ All future udev development will happen in the systemd tree. It
+ is still fully supported to use the udev daemon and tools without
+ systemd running, like in initramfs or other init systems. Building
+ udev though, will require the *build* of the systemd tree, but
+ udev can be properly *run* without systems.
+
+ * udev: /lib/udev/devices/ are not read anymore; systemd-tmpfiles
+ should be used to create dead device nodes as workarounds for broken
+ subsystems.
+
+ * udev: RUN+="socket:..." and udev_monitor_new_from_socket() is
+ no longer supported. udev_monitor_new_from_netlink() needs to be
+ used to subscribe to events.
+
+ * udev: when udevd is started by systemd, processes which are left
+ behind by forking them off of udev rules, are unconditionally cleaned
+ up and killed now after the event handling has finished. Services or
+ daemons must be started as systemd services. Services can be
+ pulled-in by udev to ge started, but they can no longer be directly
+ forked by udev rules.
+
+ * udev: the daemon binary is called systemd-udevd now and installed
+ in /usr/lib/systemd/. Standalone builds or non-systemd systems need
+ to adapt to that, create symlink, or rename the binary after building
+ it.
+
+ * Libudev does no longer provide these symbols:
+ udev_monitor_from_socket()
+ udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry()
+ udev_get_{dev,sys,run}_path()
+ The verions number was bumped and symbol versioning introduced.
* systemd-logingctl and systemd-journalctl have been renamed
to logingctl and journalctl to match systemctl.
