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.
2013-01-26man: extend systemd.directives(7) to all manual pagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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.

2012-11-17journalctl: add option to forgo ellipsizationZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Sometimes it is better to see messages in full, and the existing set of options didn't allow this easily. E.g. now journalctl -f --full will behave like tail -f /var/log/messages of yore. Long option only for now, since small letters are becoming scarce, and this doesn't feel like a capital-letter-option. '-u' would be nice, and the above command would be spelled journalctl -fu

2012-11-15journal: implement message catalogLennart Poettering
The message catalog can be used to attach short help texts to log lines, keyed by their MESSAGE_ID= fields. This is useful to help the administrator understand the context and cause of a message, find possible solutions and find further related documentation. Since this is keyed off MESSAGE_ID= this will only work for native journal messages. The message catalog supports i18n, and is useful to augment english language system messages with explanations in the local language. This commit only includes short explanatory messages for a few example message IDs, we'll add more complete documentation for the relevant systemd messages later on.
2012-10-25journal: properly serialize fields with multiple values into JSONLennart Poettering
This now matches the JSON serialization spec from: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/json

2012-10-18journalctl: implement quering field values with new -F switchLennart Poettering
Example: journalctl -F _SYSTEMD_UNIT will list all units that ever logged to the journal.
2012-10-16journalctl: add --unit=/-u to match by unit nameLennart Poettering
This applies unit_name_mangle() to the specified unit names and hence can handle weird characters nicely and will add unit suffixes as necessary.
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>

2012-09-05journalctl: rework JSON output modeLennart Poettering
This splits the JSON output mode into different modes: json and json-pretty. The former printing one entry per line, the latter showing JSON objects nicely indented and in multiple lines to make it easier to read for humans.

2012-07-17journal: automatically rotate journal files if the data hash table is full > 75%Lennart Poettering
Previously, when the main data hash table grows too full the performance simply started to decrease drastically. Instead, now simply rotate to a new journal file as the hash table gets to full, so that we can start with a new fresh empty hash table.

2012-07-13journal: beef up journal matches considerablyLennart Poettering
we now can take multiple matches, and they will apply as AND if they apply to different fields and OR if they apply to the same fields. Also, terms of this kind can be combined with an overreaching OR.
2012-07-11journalctl: add a marker to log output for rebootsLennart Poettering
With this we'll print a marker "----- Reboot -----" between two subsequent lines with different boot IDs.
2012-07-11journal: rework directory enumeration/watch logicLennart Poettering
There's now sd_journal_new_directory() for watching specific journal directories. This is exposed in journalctl -D. sd_journal_wait() and sd_journal_process() now return whether changes in the journal are invalidating or just appending. We now create inotify kernel watches only when we actually need them

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.

2012-03-26journalctl,loginctl: drop systemd- prefix in binary namesLennart Poettering
Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat. All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the exception of the three primary user interface binaries: systemctl loginctl journalctl For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks: systemd-systemctl → systemctl systemd-loginctl → loginctl systemd-journalctl → journalctl We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify stay the way they are.
