2013-09-12man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes… Highligts in this particular commit: - the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type "unsigned int" - alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how numbers get sorted)
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'.]
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.

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.
