1 I run a stable system using gnome3 and hence systemd, specifically
2 systemd-236-r5. My bootloader is grub2. I do *not* have an EFI
3 platform and do *not* have an initramfs.
4 I do *not* have a separate /usr filesystem.

6 The news item says that, in preparation for the 237 release and the
7 likely removal of the symlinks
8 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd and
9 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown
10 we should update our boot config to reference init=/lib/systemd/system
11
12 1. Updating the boot config to reference init=/lib/systemd/system seems
13 to mean a 1-line change in /etc/default/grub
14 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" -->
15 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/lib/systemd/systemd"
16 followed by the usual
17 grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
18 Is that it?
19
20 2. What should I be doing to prepare for the removal of the
21 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown symlink?
22
23 3. "After upgrading, please run systemctl daemon-reexec". Which
24 upgrade is being referred to? Is it the upgrade to the 237 release,
25 with the likely removal of the two symlinks.
26
27 Thanks in advance,
28 allan
