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)

2013-02-06build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automaticallyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
man rules were repeating the same information in too many places, which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency, Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with make update-man-list If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed. If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably wouldn't be worth it.
2012-10-16Reword sentences that contain psuedo-English "resp."Andrew Eikum
As you likely know, Arch Linux is in the process of moving to systemd. So I was reading through the various systemd docs and quickly became baffled by this new abbreviation "resp.", which I've never seen before in my English-mother-tongue life. Some quick Googling turned up a reference: <http://www.transblawg.eu/index.php?/archives/870-Resp.-and-other-non-existent-English-wordsNicht-existente-englische-Woerter.html> I guess it's a literal translation of the German "Beziehungsweise", but English doesn't work the same way. The word "respectively" is used exclusively to provide an ordering connection between two lists. E.g. "the prefixes k, M, and G refer to kilo-, mega-, and giga-, respectively." It is also never abbreviated to "resp." So the sentence "Sets the default output resp. error output for all services and sockets" makes no sense to a natural English speaker. This patch removes all instances of "resp." in the man pages and replaces them with sentences which are much more clear and, hopefully, grammatically valid. In almost all instances, it was simply replacing "resp." with "or," which the original author (Lennart?) could probably just do in the future. The only other instances of "resp." are in the src/ subtree, which I don't feel privileged to correct. Signed-off-by: Andrew Eikum <aeikum@codeweavers.com>
2012-07-13man: move header file man pages from section 7 to 3Lennart Poettering
This way we can include documentation about minor macros/inline function within the introducionary man page in a sane way.
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.

2011-03-28use /run instead of /dev/.runKay Sievers
Instead of the /dev/.run trick we have currently implemented, we decided to move the early-boot runtime dir to /run. An existing /var/run directory is bind-mounted to /run. If /var/run is already a symlink, no action is taken. An existing /var/lock directory is bind-mounted to /run/lock. If /var/lock is already a symlink, no action is taken. To implement the directory vs. symlink logic, we have a: ConditionPathIsDirectory= now, which is used in the mount units. Skipped mount unit in case of symlink: $ systemctl status var-run.mount var-run.mount - Runtime Directory Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/var-run.mount) Active: inactive (dead) start condition failed at Fri, 25 Mar 2011 04:51:41 +0100; 6min ago Where: /var/run What: /run CGroup: name=systemd:/system/var-run.mount The systemd rpm needs to make sure to add something like: %pre mkdir -p -m0755 /run >/dev/null 2>&1 || : or it needs to be added to filesystem.rpm. Udev -git already uses /run if that exists, and is writable at bootup. Otherwise it falls back to the current /dev/.udev. Dracut and plymouth need to be adopted to switch from /dev/.run to run too. Cheers, Kay
