2* remove MS_SHARED from src/core/execute.c and src/test/test-ns.c. They are always combined
3 with MS_REMOUNT, which currently does nothing in the kernel, but might which fail in the
80037e4d 4 future; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813563

73090dc8 11
f957632b
KS
12* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
13 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
14 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
15
9a366075
LP
16* make polkit checks async

20* we pull src/core/manager.h into src/shared/src/shared/path-lookup.c which is the wrong direction
21 rename enum "ManagerRunningAs" to "SystemdRunningAs" and move it to shared/

35* support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
36 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
37 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
38 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.

447* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
448 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
449 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
450 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
451 the RTC to sync up.
