Name        : systemd
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 197
Release     : 1.fc18.1
URL         : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd
Summary     : A System and Service Manager
Description :
systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with
SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd 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 cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system
state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an
elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can
work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This is a rebase of systemd to the current upstream release. There are many bugfixes and several enhancements.

For a summary of changes, see "CHANGES WITH 196" and "CHANGES WITH 197" at:
`http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS?id=v197`

A few exceptions to the upstream summary apply to the package in Fedora 18. Several upstream changes could introduce incompatible behavior within a Fedora release, so they are not included in this update:
* `rescue.service` can still start `sushell` if configured so by `/etc/sysconfig/init`. Upstream supports only `sulogin`.
* The udev support for predictable network interface names is present, but it is not enabled by default. The udev rule file `80-net-name-slot.rules` is simply not included in the package. If you want to try the feature, obtain the file from the upstream repository and place it in `/etc/udev/rules.d/` yourself.
* The Fedora-specific `http-daemon.target`, the LSB facilities "MTA", "smtpdaemon", "httpd" and the `single.service` alias were removed upstream, but are still present in this update.
* Building of the merged `nss-myhostname` is disabled. Fedora 18 keeps using the separate `nss-myhostname` source package.
