Dominique,

I fixed the build of sytemd in Base:System and the simplest way to do that was to switch to Meson as well.

I'd like to pass the testsuite before forwarding this to Factory though.

Thomas, could you report the status of the testsuite here ?

Franck,

sure, please don't understand this bug as pushing you more as I already did on IRC; it's rather for a complete overview, as I filed bugs for all the failures I'd seen so far coming from glibc 2.27, having the bugs all linked together.

As of now, there are anyway still a couple other things missnig too

Please note that the testsuite build hasn't moved to meson yet.
I'm working on that.

Thanks Thomas !

If you need help in your investigations, please do not hesitate to ping me.

Thanks Franck, the 3 tests fail due to a failure of systemd-vconsole-setup:

-->
Feb 08 11:58:11 localhost systemd-vconsole-setup[272]: /usr/bin/setfont failed with error code 66.
Feb 08 11:58:11 localhost systemd-vconsole-setup[272]: Setting source virtual console failed, ignoring remaining ones
Feb 08 11:58:11 localhost systemd-udevd[270]: Process '/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup' failed with exit code 1.
--<

Are you aware of any recent bug with vconsole-setup?

/usr/include/sysexits.h ...

 #define EX_NOINPUT      66      /* cannot open input */

Indeed:

-->
switch_root:/# /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup
Cannot open font file eurlatgr.psfu
/usr/bin/setfont failed with error code 66.
Setting source virtual console failed, ignoring remaining ones

switch_root:/# ls -l /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 9836 Dec 10 18:16 LatArCyrHeb-16.psfu
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 4096 Dec 10 18:16 t.fnt

Seems that dracut has a different idea about what should be the default font:

-->
# grep DEFAULT_FONT /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/10i18n/module-setup.sh
    DEFAULT_FONT="${i18n_default_font:-LatArCyrHeb-16}"
        inst_opt_decompress ${kbddir}/consolefonts/${DEFAULT_FONT}.*
--<

Indeed.

So this issue is not related to systemd and the switch to Meson it seems.

Yes, systemd is right, eurlatgr.psfu is the configured font:

-->
# grep -B3 eurlatgr /etc/sysconfig/console 
# Load this console font on bootup:
# (/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/)
# 
CONSOLE_FONT="eurlatgr.psfu"
--<

This seems to be a bug in dracut.
It installs /etc/sysconfig/console, so that systemd-vconsole can setup CONSOLE_FONT:


-->
        if dracut_module_included "systemd" && [[ -f /etc/sysconfig/console ]]; then
            inst_simple /etc/sysconfig/console
        fi
--<

But it doesn't install the font that is configured in /etc/sysconfig/console.

Daniel, can you confirm?
If yes, I will open a separate bug and the systemd meson build can be considered as passing the testsuite.

Please note that /etc/sysconfig/{console,keyboard,...} configuration files are deprecated, see fate#319454.

In fact SLE15 is not using them already and Factory is going to switch soon.

Ok, dracut reads vconsole.conf and installs the font from there:

d118:~ # cat /etc/vconsole.conf 
KEYMAP=ua-utf
FONT=t.fnt

So, dracut seems to be already on SLE15 level, but systemd isn't.
Now, I'm not sure anymore on which side the bug is.

Dominique, the switch to Meson has been pushed to Factory and systemd should build fine against glibc 2.27.

Thereby I'm closing this bug.
