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.

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.

We really don't want to get lost in adding fridge, car, plane, drone, or
whatever else, hence add a generic term "embedded" cover all the cases
where the computer is just part of something bigger, and not at the
focus of things.

[zj: remove the check against a fixed list of environments.]

Parameters to hostnamectl command are not optional and should not be marked
as such in the man page.

It is almost always incorrect to allow DHCP or other sources of
transient host names to override an explicitly configured static host
name.
This commit changes things so that if a static host name is set, this
will override the transient host name (eg: provided via DHCP). Transient
host names can still be used to provide host names for machines that have
not been explicitly configured with a static host name.
The exception to this rule is if the static host name is set to
"localhost". In those cases we act as if no
static host name has been explicitly set.
As discussed elsewhere, systemd may want to have an fd based ownership
of the transient name. That part is not included in this commit.

As usual, those common options are pushed to the end.

This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to:
comma placement.

This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various
issue spotted: comma setting, missing words/preposition choice.
|
|
Existing --pretty, --transient, --static options, used previously
for 'set-hostname' verb, are reused for the 'status' verb. If one
of them is given, only the specified hostname is printed. This
way there's no need to employ awk to get the hostname in a script.

- place commas
- expand contractions (this is written prose :)
- add some missing words
|
|
|
|
Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas,
capitalization, spelling, etc.
To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were
revised.
[zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]

Option listings seemed to be pretty much random, some were short opt,
long opt, others were long opt, short opt. This just makes every option
with a short and long opt that I could find in the order short opt, long
opt, for formatting's sake.

man rules were repeating the same information in too many places,
which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml
files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency,
Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with
make update-man-list
If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So
only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should
show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed.
If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we
could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also
increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild
whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably
wouldn't be worth it.

For many usecases it is useful to store the chassis type somewhere, and
/etc/machine-info sounds like a good place. Ideally we could always
detect the chassis type from firmware, but frequently that's not
available and in many embedded devices probably entirely unrealistic.
This patch adds a configurable setting CHASSIS= to /etc/machine-info and
exposes this via hostnamectl/hostnamed. hostnamed will guess the chassis
type from DMI if nothing is set explicitly. I also added support for
detecting it from ACPI, which should be more useful as ACPI 5.0 actually
knows a "tablet" chassis type, which neither DMI nor previous ACPI
versions knew.
This also enables DMI-based and ACPI-based detection for non-x86 systems
as ACPI is apparently coming to ARM platforms soon.
I tried to minimize the vocabulary of chassis types understood and
added: desktop, laptop, server, tablet, handset. This is much less than
either APCI or DMI know. If we need more types later on we can easily
add them.
