2016-05-25FSDG: man/: Refer to the operating system as GNU/Linux.Luke Shumaker
This is not a blind replacement of "Linux" with "GNU/Linux". In some cases, "Linux" is (correctly) used to refer to just the kernel. In others, it is in a string for which code must also be adjusted; these instances are not included in this commit.

2015-06-18man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen
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.
2015-05-28man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger
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.

2014-11-01Use log "level" instead of "priority"Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter. This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard. I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered when it was removed.

2014-07-07man: add a mapping for external manpagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

2014-05-07doc: write out stdin/stdout file descriptorsJan Engelhardt
"When refering to code, STDOUT/STDOUT/STDERR are replaced with stdin/stdout/stderr, and in other places they are replaced with normal phrases like standard output, etc." Addendum to commit v209~127.

2014-02-17doc: quote consistently in autoconf codeJan Engelhardt
AS_HELP_STRING has been observed to expand such that the surround function complains; play it safe and consistenly quote the example code throughout.
2014-02-14man: replace STDOUT with standard output, etc.Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Actually 'STDOUT' is something that doesn't appear anywhere: in the stdlib we have 'stdin', and there's only the constant STDOUT_FILENO, so there's no reason to use capitals. When refering to code, STDOUT/STDOUT/STDERR are replaced with stdin/stdout/stderr, and in other places they are replaced with normal phrases like standard output, etc.

2013-12-25man: grammar and wording improvementsJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: - missing words, preposition choice. - change of /lib to /usr/lib, because that is what most distros are using as the system-wide location for systemd/udev files.

2013-06-26man: always supply quotes around literalsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
When manpages are displayed on a terminal, <literal>s are indistinguishable from surrounding text. Add quotes everywhere, remove duplicate quotes, and tweak a few lists for consistent formatting. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874631
2013-05-18Standardize on 'file system' and 'namespace' in man pages.David Strauss
This change is based on existing usage in systemd and online. 'File-system' may make sense in adjectival form, but man pages seem to prefer 'file system' even in those situations.

2012-10-16Reword sentences that contain psuedo-English "resp."Andrew Eikum
As you likely know, Arch Linux is in the process of moving to systemd. So I was reading through the various systemd docs and quickly became baffled by this new abbreviation "resp.", which I've never seen before in my English-mother-tongue life. Some quick Googling turned up a reference: <http://www.transblawg.eu/index.php?/archives/870-Resp.-and-other-non-existent-English-wordsNicht-existente-englische-Woerter.html> I guess it's a literal translation of the German "Beziehungsweise", but English doesn't work the same way. The word "respectively" is used exclusively to provide an ordering connection between two lists. E.g. "the prefixes k, M, and G refer to kilo-, mega-, and giga-, respectively." It is also never abbreviated to "resp." So the sentence "Sets the default output resp. error output for all services and sockets" makes no sense to a natural English speaker. This patch removes all instances of "resp." in the man pages and replaces them with sentences which are much more clear and, hopefully, grammatically valid. In almost all instances, it was simply replacing "resp." with "or," which the original author (Lennart?) could probably just do in the future. The only other instances of "resp." are in the src/ subtree, which I don't feel privileged to correct. Signed-off-by: Andrew Eikum <aeikum@codeweavers.com>

2012-04-12relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
