2015-01-27tmpfiles: fix help textZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The help text, apart from being too long, did not describe what the options really do.
2015-01-24tmpfiles: do not bump access times of directories we are cleaning upZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Both plain opendir() and glob() will bump access time. Privileged option O_NOATIME can be used to prevent the access time from being updated. We already used it for subdirectories of the directories which we were cleaning up. But for the directories specified directly in the config files, we wouldn't do that. This means that, paradoxically, our own temporary directories for PrivateTmp would stay around forever, as long as one let systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service run regularly, because they had their own glob patterns specified. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1183684
2015-01-23man: bring tmpfiles.d(5) in line with codeZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2014-03-14tmpfiles: add --root option to operate on an alternate fs treeMichael Marineau
This makes it possible to initialize or cleanup an arbitrary filesystem hierarchy in the same way that it would be during system boot.

2013-12-30tmpfiles: rename --unsafe to --bootZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
As suggested by Kay, it is better to describe what is done, not what might happen.
2013-12-25man: improvements to comma placementJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: comma placement.
2013-12-24tmpfiles: introduce the concept of unsafe operationsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Various operations done by systemd-tmpfiles may only be safely done at boot (e.g. removal of X lockfiles in /tmp, creation of /run/nologin). Other operations may be done at any point in time (e.g. setting the ownership on /{run,var}/log/journal). This distinction is largely orthogonal to the type of operation. A new switch --unsafe is added, and operations which should only be executed during bootup are marked with an exclamation mark in the configuration files. systemd-tmpfiles.service is modified to use this switch, and guards are added so it is hard to re-start it by mistake. If we install a new version of systemd, we actually want to enforce some changes to tmpfiles configuration immediately. This should now be possible to do safely, so distribution packages can be modified to execute the "safe" subset at package installation time. /run/nologin creation is split out into a separate service, to make it easy to override. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043212 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045849
2013-12-24man,units: tmpfiles.d(5) cleanupZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Condition for /lib (necessary for split /usr) was missing from the unit. Some changes which were done in tmpfiles.d(5) were not carried over to systemd-tmpfiles(1). Also use markup where possible.
2013-11-06clients: unify how we invoke getopt_long()Lennart Poettering
Among other things this makes sure we always expose a --version command and show it in the help texts.
2013-09-17tmpfiles: add a new "m" line type that adjusts user/group/mode of a file if ↵Lennart Poettering
it exists
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)
2013-07-24tmpfiles: introduce --exclude-prefixDave Reisner
The opposite of --prefix, allows specifying path prefixes which should be skipped when processing rules.
2013-07-24tmpfiles: support passing --prefix multiple timesDave Reisner
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'.]
2013-04-23man: link systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.serviceUmut Tezduyar
2012-07-16man: reword man page titlesLennart Poettering
Make sure the man page titles are similar in style and capitalization so that our man page index looks pretty.

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.
2011-12-16tmpfiles: add 'z', like 'Z' but not recursiveMichal Schmidt
2011-12-16tmpfiles: apply chown, chmod for 'Z' entries tooMichal Schmidt
If changing ownership or permissions is not desired, they can be configured to '-' or omitted entirely.
2011-12-16man: document 'Z' in tmpfilesMichal Schmidt

2011-07-11man: un-reverse IgnoreOnSnapshot descriptionZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
I think that snapshots & devices are actually _not_ captured in snapshots.
