[gentoo-user] systemd warning kernel 3.10 required

[gentoo-user] systemd warning kernel 3.10 required

[covici]

What is the significance of the warning when updating to systemd-214
that kernel 3.10 is required?  I can't go to that now, what might break?

Thanks.

The README from systemd still says that you need 3.8 [1] (3.0 without
some features); also, in the mailing list there was some discussions
about some stuff being fixed so 3.8 remained the lower bound.

sources.g.o seems to be down, so I can't see the ebuild, but I don't
know of any strong reason to demand 3.10. I think they were waiting
for the kdbus kernel inclusion to depend on it.

Regards.

systemd-214 fails to build with <linux-headers-3.10. Upstream claims
to support earlier kernels, but has been rather bad about testing
them.
