Bug#805293: jessie-pu: package systemd/215-17+deb8u3

[Michael Biebl]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: jessie
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu

I'd like to update the systemd package in stable to fix a few issues
where users asked us explicitly to backport fixes from upstream.

All those issue have been fixed in sid/testing.
Full debdiff is attached.

Annotated changelog

systemd (215-17+deb8u3) stable; urgency=medium

  * Fix namespace breakage due to incorrect path sorting. (Closes: #787758)

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=biebl/jessie&id=054e994dd6b7f9aec13d159793c89027ae6d91c3

While I'm not aware of any package in the archive using
ReadOnlyDirectories/ReadWriteDirectories, it's not uncommon for admins to lock
down their services via local configuration.

  * Don't timeout after 90 seconds when no password was entered for cryptsetup
    devices. (Closes: #802897)

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=biebl/jessie&id=17fa29391f769426876bd51f5f6f992dc23017fd

This one fixes a bug where we timed out and failed if the user didn't enter a
password for a cryptsetup device within 90 seconds.

  * Only set the kernel's timezone when the RTC runs in local time. Otherwise,
    every daylight saving time change or time zone change by travelling will
    make the time jump, and the local time might jump backwards which creates
    unsolvable problems with file timestamps. (Closes: #759319)

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=biebl/jessie&id=3918ae33299cf6798b17564e1c4af34d77fd8a18

While this change sound potentially risky, we had this in sid/testing for a while.

  * Fix incorrect handling of comma separator in systemd-delta.
    (Closes: #793477)

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=biebl/jessie&id=4b90ab14dbebd1e4c8f62a051bda4a2e2c6ccbe2

Low risk change for a trivial bug.

  * Make DHCP broadcast behaviour configurable in systemd-networkd via
    RequestBroadcast=. This is a backport from upstream which doesn't change
    the default setting. (Closes: #797894)

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=biebl/jessie&id=06aa37dea9a5b922582ebbcc380fc7e064377f2a

This backports a new feature (configuration setting) for systemd-networkd which
otherwise would be unusable in certain setups. Regression potential is low, as
it doesn't change the existing default behaviour in stable.


Please let me know if I can proceed with the upload.

Regards,
Michael
