[Bug 1625023] Re: switch to systemd on ubuntu phone xenial

[Vicamo Yang]

** Description changed:

  Snappy heavily rely on systemd system session and xenial has systemd by
  default.
  
  [steps to construct systemd-based avila]
  
  1. flash images built from xenial branch [1]. This should gives a
  working xenial+upstart avila.
  
  2. Install systemd-sysv rather than upstart-sysv (Bug 1625023)
  2.1. rebuild latest ubuntu-touch package from source [2] with patch [3] applied.
  2.2. download latest systemd-sysv package [4].
  2.3. dpkg -i ubuntu-touch_*.deb systemd-sysv_*.deb
  
  3. Install android-tools-adbd for systemd (Bug 1627613)
  3.1. download prebuilt package [5] or recompile it from source [6] with patch [7] applied.
  3.2. Install the package from Terminal app because it will break adb connection and interrupt the installation process leaving a very bad state of the package.
  
- 4. Install prebuilt lxc-android-config package [8] or just correct its
- systemd service file by hand as the merge proposal [9] does. (Bug
- 1625445, bug 1625916 and bug 1626012).
+ 4. Modify lxc-android-config package [8] systemd service file by hand as
+ the merge proposal [9] does. (Bug 1625445, bug 1625916 and bug 1626012).
  
  5. Reboot.

  Snappy heavily rely on systemd system session and xenial has systemd
  by default.

  [steps to construct systemd-based avila]

  1. flash images built from xenial branch [1]. This should gives a
  working xenial+upstart avila.

  2. Install systemd-sysv rather than upstart-sysv (Bug 1625023)
  2.1. rebuild latest ubuntu-touch package from source [2] with patch [3] applied.
  2.2. download latest systemd-sysv package [4].
  2.3. dpkg -i ubuntu-touch_*.deb systemd-sysv_*.deb

  3. Install android-tools-adbd for systemd (Bug 1627613)
  3.1. Recompile it from source [6] with patch [7] applied.
  3.2. Install the package from Terminal app because it will break adb connection and interrupt the installation process leaving a very bad state of the package.

  4. Modify lxc-android-config package systemd service file by hand as
  the merge proposal [8][9] does. (Bug 1625445, bug 1625916 and bug
  1626012).

  5. Recompile upstart with merge proposal [10] include and install at
  least the built binary /sbin/upstart-local-bridge.

  6. Reboot.
