systemd 255 in Tizen, or how we have paid our technical debt and took another one (asg2024)

In this talk we present the story of upgrading systemd in Tizen by eleven releases. We share both the lessons we've learnt during the most recent upgrade as well as decade long experience of the maintenance and development of key packages in the only GNU/Linux distribution that uses kdbus. We describe our day-to-day git workflow as well as upgrade procedures we came up with over the years.
