systemd "216-9" is not built from 216 at all, it is in fact systemd-217
Why the misleading version number?
There is a comment in the spec:
# This is really closer to 217 than to 216, and it is easier to revert a few # patches then to carry all the other patches after 216.
and a changelog note:
- Pull more changes from upstream, including post-217 bugfixes. This is now a bastard mix of systemd-216 and systemd-217, with some of the important changes in systemd 217 still reverted: readahead removal, timedatectl change, fq_codel as default, job timeouts for init and poweroff, multi-seat-x removal, coredumps from watchdog timeouts.
For the record, systemd-216-8 had ~588 patches.
I think the intent is that 216-8 and 216-9 be more or less the same codebase but arrived at in different ways, but in practice there seems to be a noticeable difference.
The diff I came up with is:
This diffs autogenerated content.
It also contains a rename of functions to add mac_ prefixes to selinux functions. And a rename to hashmap functions in preparation of for implementation changes which were done post 217 (and are not part of this update). It is also done without -M, so catches some renames as significant changes.
I'm frankly puzzled about the point of this exercise.
