Enable journal-remote

[god]

Right now there's nothing like systemd-journal-remote and systemd-journal-upload available in Ubuntu's repo. Would be great to have this packaged and installable in one command (or better yet - by default) to get modern remote logging to/from ubuntu as quickly and pain-free for users as possible.

[god (humper)]

To clarify: since we don't know if users prefer "push" or "pull" model we should provide both systemd-journal-upload and systemd-journal-gatewayd and let user decide which one to enable. And systemd-journal-remote is required for both modes of operation anyway.

But blocked by bug 1488341

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 224-2ubuntu2

---------------
systemd (224-2ubuntu2) wily; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-pick FTBFS (with pkg-create-dbgsym) fix from Debian master branch.

systemd (224-2ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - Hack to support system-image read-only /etc, and modify files in
      /etc/writable/ instead.
    - Keep our much simpler udev maintainer scripts (all platforms must
      support udev, no debconf).
    - initramfs init-bottom: If LVM is installed, settle udev,
      otherwise we get missing LV symlinks. Workaround for LP #1185394.
    - Add debian/udev.lvm2.init: Dummy SysV init script to satisfy insserv
      dependencies to "lvm2" which is handled with udev rules in Ubuntu.
    - Add debian/udev.lvm2.service to avoid running the dummy lvm2 init
      script.
    - Provide shutdown fallback for upstart. (LP: #1370329)
    - debian/extra/ifup@.service: Additionally run for "auto" class. We don't
      really support "allow-hotplug" in Ubuntu at the moment, so we need to
      deal with "auto" devices appearing after "/etc/init.d/networking start"
      already ran. (LP: #1374521)
    - ifup@.service: Drop dependency on networking.service (i. e.
      /etc/init.d/networking), and merely ensure that /run/network exists.
      This avoids unnecessary dependencies/waiting during boot and dependency
      cycles if hooks wait for other interfaces to come up (like ifenslave
      with bonding interfaces). (LP: #1414544)
    - Add Get-RTC-is-in-local-time-setting-from-etc-default-rc.patch: In
      Ubuntu we currently keep the setting whether the RTC is in local or UTC
      time in /etc/default/rcS "UTC=yes|no", instead of /etc/adjtime.
      (LP: #1377258)
    - Put session scopes into all cgroup controllers. This makes unprivileged
      user LXC containers work under systemd. (LP: #1346734)
    - systemctl: Don't forward telinit u to upstart. This works around
      upstart's Restart() always reexec'ing /sbin/init on Restart(), even if
      that changes to point to systemd during the upgrade. This avoids running
      systemd during a dist-upgrade. (LP: #1430479)
    - Drop hwdb-update dependency from udev-trigger.service, which got
      introduced in v219-stable. This causes udev and plymouth to start too
      late and isn't really needed in Ubuntu yet as we don't support stateless
      systems yet and handle hwdb.bin updates through dpkg triggers. This can
      be dropped again with initramfs-tools 0.117.
    - Lower Breaks: to plymouth version which has the udev inotify fix in
      Ubuntu.
    - Lower apparmor Breaks: to the Ubuntu version that dropped $remote_fs.
    - Change systemd-sysv's conflicts to upstart-sysv. (LP: #1422681)

    Upgrade fixes, keep until 16.04 LTS release:
    - systemd Conflicts/Replaces/Provides systemd-services.
    - Remove obsolete systemd-logind upstart job.
    - Clean up obsolete /etc/udev/rules.d/README.
    - systemd.postinst: Migrate mountall specific fstab options to standard
      util-linux "nofail" option.

  * Don't build new systemd-journal-remote package and drop libmicrohttpd-dev.
    This...

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

systemd-journal-remote is not built in the current wily package as it's blocked by feature freeze and bug 1488341. Reopening.

[god (humper)]

Will this arrive as part of wily-backports or we'll have to wait till 16.04?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Will have to wait, as wily has libmicrohttpd in universe.

Xenial has this now, the MIR was approved at last:
