This library provides GObject bindings for libudev. It was originally part of udev-extras, then udev, then systemd. It's now a project on its own.

systemd is a system and session manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.

Starting with openSUSE 12.1, several RPM macros must be used to package systemd services files. This package provides these macros.
