--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : systemd
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 243
Release : 1.fc31
URL :
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd
Summary : System and Service Manager
Description :
systemd is a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts
the rest of the system. It provides aggressive parallelization
capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and
implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control
logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a
replacement for sysvinit. Other parts of this package are a logging daemon,
utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname,
date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users, system accounts,
runtime directories and settings, and daemons to manage simple network
configuration, network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name
resolution.

Update Information:
- Update to latest release - Emission of Session property-changed notifications
from logind is fixed (this was breaking the switching of sessions to and from
gnome). - Security issue: unprivileged users were allowed to change DNS servers
configured in systemd-resolved. Now proper polkit authorization is required
(CVE-2019-15718). Switching ttys will work again after reboot. Otherwise, no
log out or reboot is required.
