2014-05-28hostnamed: Fix the way that static and transient host names interactStef Walter
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.
2013-08-14hostnamectl: show only specific hostname when requestedZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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.
2013-07-03man: more grammar improvementsJan Engelhardt
- place commas - expand contractions (this is written prose :) - add some missing words

2013-07-02man: improve grammar and word formatting in numerous man pagesJason St. John
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'.]

2013-02-13man: Make options consistentWilliam Giokas
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.
2013-02-06build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automaticallyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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.
2012-12-24hostnamed: make chassis type configurable via /etc/machine-infoLennart Poettering
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.
