    Phoronix: Systemd 250 Piles On Yet More Features With New Release Candidate

    It was just over one week ago the systemd 250 release candidate was issued (along with a brown paper bag 250-rc2 fix-up release). Systemd 250 has a ton of changes for this init system and more while today systemd 250-rc3 was released with yet more changes in tow...

    - A proper BCD (Boot Configuration Data) parser for Microsoft Windows' boot data used since Windows Vista.
    I assume this is for systemd-boot somehow, but why would it need that? Doesn't it just chain load the windows boot loader, just like grub does?

        With UEFI, the bootentries are Windows PE files, systemd-boot can start them as well (just needs to parse the BCD config), no point to chain load, even tho that would be possible

          According to the changes made in the config_entry_add_windows(), previously it just brute forced windows version title, now it parses windows title from BCD w/o brute forcing it with if memory_startswith().

            I guess we can expect systemd-ai as another brute force in the future?

              Systemd fails to build with Clang-14 when used with LLD as linker (gold is fine) at Test 530/960 (test-hashmap). It would be great if that was fixed before the release.

                Yes and now when it is powered by the systemd-network-generator it will be virtually unstoppable!

                  LLVM14 etc isnt even stable so why did you bother trying to build systemd with it?

                    Because I can. That's what testing is for.
