[systemd-devel] [ANNOUNCE] systemd 26

[Lennart Poettering]

Heya,

It has been a year today when I posted the original systemd announcement
blog story. Time for a birthday release:

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/systemd-26.tar.bz2

Mostly bugfixes. 

Only bigger thing to mention is that tmpfiles/binfmt/sysctl/modules-load
now also look for config files in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d in addition to
/etc/tmpfiles.d (and similar for the others). Why? simply to mimic the
scheme we otherwise handle unit files and suchlike, or udev handles
rules files: /usr is package manager territory. Configuration files
which are usually nothing the user should ever edit hence belong below
/usr. To allow patching or disabling of those files the user can then
copy them to /etc where they will take precedence over equally named
files in /lib. Symlinking them to /dev/null there is an effective way to
disable them completely. But normally they aren't visible in /etc.
