NEW ARMv5te RootFS with Systemd (Please Test)

[Budland]

I could not load the root filesystem. Seem like the link is broken, can someone verify?

[moonman]

It isn't for testing anymore and is now official?

Correct....the -latest image is now using systemd.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('sambul13', 'I')'m running 3.6.4-1-ARCH now. Did you post something different?

The only issue so far apart from some previous update "news" was that some AUR packages didn't move to systemd yet, so not sure how to autostart their daemons, since rc.conf is missing. Another issue is many ArchLinux Wiki articles aren't updated yet either, so its hard to grasp the proper action with new packages, systemd services names, etc.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy polkit
reboot')

The guides will stay the same exept now instead of putting something into DAEMONS list you do systemctl enable <some daemon>

For sambe for example you would do systemctl enable smbd (instead of adding samba to daemons). Most names are the same, but some aren't.

The things I found to be different:
sysvinit - systemd
samba - smbd
transmissiond - transmission
crond - cronie OR dcron (whatever you have)

Thanks moonman, polkit installed and fixes timedatectl error

The instructions that I was following were the basic installation guide. So the last bit (in "first reboot" section) needs amending:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '•Set your local timezone:
nano /etc/rc.conf
# Change the TIMEZONE to any of the zones listed in /usr/share/zoneinfo unless you live in Chicago.')
So the polkit install requirement would be good here (unless it can be included with a build revision)

Then, in the "First Steps" section of the support guides the "sync NTP" instructions don't apply. (Looking at that now.)

Synchronizing RTC with system time using timedatectl
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Warning: The RTC is configured to maintain time in the local time zone. This
mode is not fully supported and will create various problems with time
zone changes and daylight saving adjustments. If at all possible use
RTC in UTC, by calling 'timedatectl set-local-rtc 0'.
')
So installation guide needs:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '$ timedatectl set-local-rtc 0')
