21bc923a 33 Linux kernel >= 2.6.30 (with devtmpfs, cgroups; optional but strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6)
ae446765 34 libudev >= 172

45 When you build from git you need the following additional dependencies:
46
c1c8ca81 47 vala >= 0.10

50 automake
51 autoconf
52 libtool
21bc923a 53 make, gcc, and similar tools

55 During runtime you need the following dependencies:
56
c1c8ca81 57 util-linux > v2.18 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s)
21bc923a 58 sulogin (from sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended)

60 dracut (optional)

62 When systemd-hostnamed is used it is strongly recommended to
63 install nss-myhostname to ensure that in a world of
64 dynamically changing hostnames the hostname stays resolveable
65 under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn
66 if nss-myhostname is not installed. Packagers are encouraged to
67 add a dependency on nss-myhostname to the package that
68 includes systemd-hostnamed.

70WARNINGS:
71 systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a
72 symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a
73 proper symlink.
74
75 systemd will warn you during boot if /usr is on a different
76 file system than /. While in systemd itself very little will
ed1c99fc 77 break if /usr is on a separate partition many of its
21bc923a
LP
78 dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one
79 form or another. For example udev rules tend to refer to
80 binaries in /usr, binaries that link to libraries in /usr or
81 binaries that refer to data files in /usr. Since these
82 breakages are not always directly visible systemd will warn
83 about this, since this kind of file system setup is not really
84 supported anymore by the basic set of Linux OS components.
