systemd 256-rc2 Released With A Few More Features


The first release candidate of systemd 256 came just under one month ago with new features like run0 as the new sudo alternative, a new 'systemd-vpick' binary, importctl as another new tool, Zboot kernel support with systemd ukify, systemd-homed improvements, and much more

The "systemctl kill --wait" can be useful due to otherwise potentially hitting racy conditions. New to systemd-machined is the GetMachineSSHInfo() D-Bus method used by systemd-vmspawn for fetching the information needed to SSH into the machine. The new functionality allows for tools and packagers to programmatically discover the list of optional dependencies used by all systemd ELF binaries.
