2011-07-25machine-id: be nice and generate compliant v4 UUIDsLennart Poettering
Newly generated machine IDs now qualify as randomized v4 UUIds. This is trivial to do and hopefully increases adoption of the ID for various purposes.

2011-03-04main: introduce /etc/machine-idLennart Poettering
This is supposed to play the same roles /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, however fixes a couple of problems: - It is available during early boot since it is stored in /etc - Removes the ID from the D-Bus context and moves it into a system context, thus hopefully lowering hesitation by people to use it. - It is generated at installation time. If the file is empty at boot time it will be mounted over with a randomly generated ID, which is not saved to disk. This is useful to support state-less machines with no transient or writable /etc configuration.
