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.
2015-03-13man: fix indentation of copyright headersZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2014-11-21man: add emacs header to get correct indention in nxml-mode for the manpage ↵Lennart Poettering
XML files that use 2ch indenting In the long run we really should figure out if we want to stick with 8ch or 2ch indenting, and not continue with half-and-half. For now, just make emacs aware of the files that use 2ch indenting.
2014-06-13os-release: define /usr/lib/os-release as fallback for /etc/os-releaseLennart Poettering
The file should have been in /usr/lib/ in the first place, since it describes the OS container in /usr (and not the configuration in /etc), hence, let's support os-release files in /usr/lib as fallback if no version in /etc exists, following the usual override logic. A prior commit already enabled tmpfiles to create /etc/os-release as a symlink to /usr/lib/os-release should it be missing, thus providing nice compatibility with applications only checking in /etc. While it's probably a good idea if all apps check both locations via a fallback logic, it is only necessary in the early boot process, as long as the /etc/os-release symlink has not been restored, in case we boot with an empty /etc.
2014-02-14man: always place <programlisting> and </programlisting> in a line with ↵Lennart Poettering
actual sources, so that we don't get spurious newlines in the man page output
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'.]
2013-05-06kernel-install: add default install scriptsHarald Hoyer
Do the depmod in the kernel-install hooks, so hooks can produce/install kernel modules and be part of the depmod. Also move the basic boot loader entry creation and removal to a plugin script. If PRETTY_NAME is not defined in /etc/os-release, fallback to PRETTY_NAME="Linux $KERNEL_VERSION". Add documentation for everything in the man page.
2013-05-03man: add various filenames to the indexZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Everything which is an absolute filename marked with <filename></filename> lands in the index, unless noindex= attribute is present. Should make it easier for people to find stuff when they are looking at a file on disk. Various formatting errors in manpages are fixed, kernel-install(1) is restored to formatting sanity.
