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:
https://www.happyassassin.net/temp/systemd-2168-2169.diff 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.
