Let's make sure our logging APIs is in sync with how stdout/stderr logging works.

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.

All hail linkchecker!

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?

2014-05-07doc: balance C indirections in function prototypesJan Engelhardt
Shift the asterisks in the documentation's prototypes such that they are consistent among each other. Use the right side to match what is used in source code. Addendum to commit v209~82.

2014-01-27journal: guarantee async-signal-safety in sd_journald_sendvZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
signal(7) provides a list of functions which may be called from a signal handler. Other functions, which only call those functions and don't access global memory and are reentrant are also safe. sd_j_sendv was mostly OK, but would call mkostemp and writev in a fallback path, which are unsafe. Being able to call sd_j_sendv in a async-signal-safe way is important because it allows it be used in signal handlers. Safety is achieved by replacing mkostemp with open(O_TMPFILE) and an open-coded writev replacement which uses write. Unfortunately, O_TMPFILE is only available on kernels >= 3.11. When O_TMPFILE is unavailable, an open-coded mkostemp is used. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722889
2013-12-25man: resolve word omissionsJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: word omissions and word class choice.
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'.]
2013-06-29man: fix spacing issue in various man pagesJason St. John
Before: libsystemd-daemonpkg-config(1) After: libsystemd-daemon pkg-config(1) This fix is more complicated than it should be due to the consecutive XML elements separated by collapsible whitespace. Merging the lines and separating the XML elements with an en space or a non-breaking space is the only solution that results in one, and only one, space being inserted between them when testing. An em space results in two spaces being inserted.
2013-06-26man: use <constant> for various constants which look ugly with quotesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-06-22journal-verify: allow unlinked data entriesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Sometimes an entry is not successfully written, and we end up with data items which are "unlinked", not connected to, and not used by any entry. This will usually happen when we write to write a core dump, and the initial small data fields are written successfully, but the huge COREDUMP= field is not written. This situation is hard to avoid, but the results are mostly harmless. Thus only warn about unused data items. Also, be more verbose about why journal files failed verification. This should help diagnose journal failure modes without resorting to a hexadecimal editor. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65235 (esp. see system.journal attached to the bug report).
2012-10-26man: typo fixesThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890 Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown" to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit 8bd3b8620c80d0f2383f2fb04315411fc8077ca1
