It would also need to support systemd-208 for Fedora 20, and possibly systemd-204 for Fedora 19. Users must be able to upgrade to Fedora n from Fedora n-2 and n-1, as they're supported systems still. Arguably users ought to be able to upgrade out of the most recent EOL'd Fedora, n-3. It makes me look forward to atomically updated/upgraded stateless systems so we can avoid these kinds of musical chairs figuring out nutty layout assembly to make sure updates actually work. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
