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.

2014-10-24man: avoid gendered singular pronounsLennart Poettering
Using "their" as pronoun in these places is confusing since it is more associated with plural rather than singular, and the sentence already contains a plural. The word "her/his" apparently offends some people, hence let's avoid the problem altogether and just name the noun again.
2014-10-24man: in pam_systemd, it must be "his" (or "her"), not theirLennart Poettering
2014-10-23man: pam_systemd: some typos fixed, some info addedDaniel Mack
Just some minor nits that I stumbled over when reading the man page.
2014-09-22login: add public sd_session_get_desktop() APIDavid Herrmann
The desktop brand is stored as DESKTOP variable for sessions. It can be set arbitrarily by the session owner and identifies the desktop environment that is running on that session.
2014-07-07man: add a mapping for external manpagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

2014-04-09login: add 'mir' to the list of session typesDavid Herrmann
Add Mir to the list of session types. This is implemented for LightDM in lp:~robert-ancell/lightdm/xdg-session-desktop [1]. [1] https://code.launchpad.net/~robert-ancell/lightdm/xdg-session-desktop/+merge/214108 (david: adjusted commit-header and fixed whitespace issues)
2014-02-17doc: resolve missing/extraneous words or inappropriate formsJan Engelhardt
Issues fixed: * missing words required by grammar * duplicated or extraneous words * inappropriate forms (e.g. singular/plural), and declinations * orthographic misspellings
2014-02-05man: introduce new "Desktop" property for sessionsLennart Poettering
This is initialized from XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP and is useful for GNOME to recognize its own sessions. It's supposed to be set to a short string identifying the session, such as "kde" or "gnome".
2014-02-05logind: make session type and class settable via the same waysLennart Poettering
If the session type/class is set via environment variables, use that, and otherwise fallback to something that is set via the PAM module command line.
2013-11-06systemd_pam: treat debug as debug=1 and parse all paramsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
systemd_pam would ignore all params after the first invalid one. Instead ignore just this one, and parse the rest. There's just one now, but as a matter of principle ;) Also, allow debug as an alias for debug=1, and don't treat invalid debug= options as fatal.
2013-09-27man: drop references to "cgroup" wher appropriateLennart Poettering
Since cgroups are mostly now an implementation detail of systemd lets deemphasize it a bit in the man pages. This renames systemd.cgroup(5) to systemd.resource-control(5) and uses the term "resource control" rather than "cgroup" where appropriate. This leaves the word "cgroup" in at a couple of places though, like for example systemd-cgtop and systemd-cgls where cgroup stuff is at the core of what is happening.
2013-07-21man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.
2013-07-19man: update pam_systemd documentation to current state of the codeLennart Poettering
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'.]

2013-01-26man: 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.

2012-04-12relicense 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.

2011-06-15pam-module: add debug= parameterMichal Schmidt
It is customary that pam modules do not log debugging information by default. Usually they offer a 'debug' option. Add a boolean debug= option to pam_systemd.so. This will solve bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705427 Commit 53d5582fa006b0eb528f5dc3f4ba978abd8ac5a3 was not sufficient to fix it, because in Fedora rsyslog is configured to write even LOG_DEBUG messages to /var/log/secure by default.
