* man: drop unused <authorgroup> tags from man sourcesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2018-06-141-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight. Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable. $ perl -i -0pe 's/\s*<authorgroup>.*<.authorgroup>//gms' man/*xml
* tree-wide: remove Lennart's copyright linesLennart Poettering2018-06-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship information.
* tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurbLennart Poettering2018-06-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together. Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to change bits that are part of our copyright header for that. hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a bit.
* tree-wide: drop license boilerplateZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2018-04-061-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

* fstab-generator: Chase symlinks where possible (#6293)Colin Walters2017-07-111-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has a long history; see see 5261ba901845c084de5a8fd06500ed09bfb0bd80 which originally introduced the behavior. Unfortunately that commit doesn't include any rationale, but IIRC the basic issue is that systemd wants to model the real mount state as units, and symlinks make canonicalization much more difficult. At the same time, on a RHEL6 system (upstart), one can make e.g. `/home` a symlink, and things work as well as they always did; but one doesn't have access to the sophistication of mount units (dependencies, introspection, etc.) Supporting symlinks here will hence make it easier for people to do upgrades to RHEL7 and beyond. The `/home` as symlink case also appears prominently for OSTree; see https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/adapting-existing/ Further work has landed in the nspawn case for this; see e.g. d944dc9553009822deaddec76814f5642a6a8176 A basic limitation with doing this in the fstab generator (and that I hit while doing some testing) is that we obviously can't chase symlinks into mounts, since the generator runs early before mounts. Or at least - doing so would require multiple passes over the fstab data (as well as looking at existing mount units), and potentially doing multi-phase generation. I'm not sure it's worth doing that without a real world use case. For now, this will fix at least the OSTree + `/home` <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1382873> case mentioned above, and in general anyone who for whatever reason has symlinks in their `/etc/fstab`.

* fstab-generator: add support for volatile bootsLennart Poettering2016-12-211-3/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for a new kernel command line option "systemd.volatile=" that provides the same functionality that systemd-nspawn's --volatile= switch provides, but for host systems (i.e. systems booting with a kernel). It takes the same parameter and has the same effect. In order to implement systemd.volatile=yes a new service systemd-volatile-root.service is introduced that only runs in the initrd and rearranges the root directory as needed to become a tmpfs instance. Note that systemd.volatile=state is implemented different: it simply generates a var.mount unit file that is part of the normal boot and has no effect on the initrd execution. The way this is implemented ensures that other explicit configuration for /var can always override the effect of these options. Specifically, the var.mount unit is generated in the "late" generator directory, so that it only is in effect if nothing else overrides it.

* man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen2015-06-181-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.
* man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger2015-05-281-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup. Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach. This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220 The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of: - Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount. - Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc. These will be handled separately by follow up patches. Tested: - With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly. - Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist. - Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes… Highligts in this particular commit: - the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type "unsigned int" - alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how numbers get sorted)
* man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2013-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all untagged <varname> elements. Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if similarly named options exist elsewhere.
