FYI Systemd v261, probably due in May, is the release planned to include the 'birthDate' field. (lemmy.ca)

For those interested, the Systemd release that's planned to include the controversial 'birthDate' field to user records, complying with age-verification laws, is v261 (see 'milestone' in the pull request). This release seems to be planned for May.

The current release, from some hours ago, is v260.1. I see that Ubuntu Noble (24.04) just updated to v255.

So in 5 years we’ll all be running v260.182.1?

Don't be rediculous. By then Debian will be on 258 at best...

Debian actually has 260 in testing, now.

Which fucking sucks, because systemd 260 ALSO just dropped sysvinit script support. Which... hey, we on alternate init systems kind of need those??

They better not try to use that as leverage to make Debian drop (or just bitrot) the "old" and "outdated" init scripts that work with all the normal init systems.
