Let's discuss them as well as other architectural/technical stuff here. ### How to build your own systemd-based postmarketOS images See https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Systemd ### Next steps for integrating systemd into postmarketOS - [x] pmbootstrap (`systemd` branch): support `pmb:systemd-never` option in `postmarketos-ui-*` packages for UIs where maintainers don't support systemd (e.g. Sxmo) - [x] pmbootstrap: make MR, get current patches from `systemd` branch reviewed and merged into `master` (pmbootstrap!2273) - [x] bpo: do `pmbootstrap repo_bootstrap systemd` before building any package, if the branch contains the `postmarketos-base-systemd` package and make it so that all bootstrapped packages get uploaded and added to the new repository at once (usually only one package at a time) (build.postmarketos.org#133) - [x] bpo: create a systemd [staging repository](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Staging_repositories) (with systemd + rest of pmaports combined as intermediate step), by rebasing the systemd branch on top of current master - [x] repo bootstrap through bpo for x86_&4 - [x] repo bootstrap through bpo for aarch64 - [x] repo bootstrap through bpo for armv7 - [x] build entire branch on bpo for x86_64 - [x] build entire branch on bpo for aarch64 - [x] build entire branch on bpo for armv7 - [x] move instructions for building images [to the wiki](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Systemd) - [ ] pmaports (`systemd` branch): add `pmb:systemd` to all KDE and GNOME based UIs, add `pmb:systemd-never` to Sxmo's UI packages (see !4894) - [ ] pmbootstrap: extend to build the systemd dir of pmaports separate from the main postmarketOS binary package repository (pmbootstrap#2328) - [ ] bpo: extend to build the systemd dir of pmaports separate from the main postmarketOS binary package repository (pmbootstrap#2328) - [ ] pmaports (`master_staging_systemd` branch): clean up - [ ] pmaports: make MR, get current patches from `systemd` branch reviewed and merged into `master` - [ ] pmaports: remove `master_staging_systemd` branch, which in turn removes the staging repository - [x] bpo: build the systemd binary repository - [ ] bpo: build the first edge images with systemd for GNOME and KDE - [ ] wiki: add some documentation to https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Systemd Afterwards: * Lots of bug fixes * the next release (probably v24.12 then) will branch from current master as usually, and will have systemd for KDE and GNOME based UIs ### How to contribute * Make merge requests towards the `master_staging_systemd` branch of `pmbootstrap` / `pmaports` for now * Join the postmarketos-devel chat, let's discuss there! https://postmarketos.org/chat/
