This is a work-in-progress reimplementation of the systemd-stub in Rust. It is supposed to eventually replace the existing systemd-stub in the upstream systemd tree. The stub is the ideal playground for experimentation with Rust within systemd because it relatvely isolated and corresponds to a leaf in the systemd dependency tree.
The repository contains Nix code to set up a reproducible development environment and for VM integration testing. However, because the stub should eventually be integrated into the systemd build system, this will NOT be the final build system.
To make starting easier, the source code of the Lanzaboote stub is copied as it contains a lot of useful code that we can build from. The final behaviour of the reimplementation of the systemd-stub, however, will significantly differ from the Lanzaboote stub.
Once we find a better home for this repository it can be moved there.
- Replace the existing systemd-stub.
- Feature parity and compatibility with the existing systemd-stub. The Rust stub is supposed to be a drop-in replacement.
- Integrate this implementation with the systemd build system so the Rust stub can be bundled and shipped together with the rest of systemd.
- Create anything distro-specific. The stub should remain as general-purpose as the current systemd-stub.
- Develop new stub features. The first goal is to reach fearture partiy with the existing stub. Experiments with new behaviours may be done in a fork.
