2013-05-18Standardize on 'file system' and 'namespace' in man pages.David Strauss
This change is based on existing usage in systemd and online. 'File-system' may make sense in adjectival form, but man pages seem to prefer 'file system' even in those situations.
2013-05-03man: add various filenames to the indexZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Everything which is an absolute filename marked with <filename></filename> lands in the index, unless noindex= attribute is present. Should make it easier for people to find stuff when they are looking at a file on disk. Various formatting errors in manpages are fixed, kernel-install(1) is restored to formatting sanity.

2013-03-22exec: Assigning the empty string to CapabilityBoundSet= should drop all capsLennart Poettering
Previously, it would set all caps, but it should drop them all, anything else makes little sense. Also, document that this works as it does, and what to do in order to assign all caps to the bounding set. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=914705
2013-03-15core: reuse the same /tmp, /var/tmp and inaccessible dirMichal Sekletar
All Execs within the service, will get mounted the same /tmp and /var/tmp directories, if service is configured with PrivateTmp=yes. Temporary directories are cleaned up by service itself in addition to systemd-tmpfiles. Directory which is mounted as inaccessible is created at runtime in /run/systemd.

2013-02-13man: rename systemd.conf to systemd-system.confZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Alias as systemd-user.conf is also provided. This should help users running systemd in session mode. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690868
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.
2013-01-26man: mention that PrivateTmp means /var/tmp tooZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2013-01-24man: systemd.exec - explicit Environment assignmentFrederic Crozat
Hi all, while working on another bug, I discovered the "strange" way systemd is parsing Environment= in .service and thought it was worth documenting (because I don't expect people to find this syntax by themselves unless they read the parsing code ;) Be more verbose about using space in Environment field and not using value of other variables Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840260 [zj: expand and reformat the example a bit]
2013-01-18util: continuation support for load_env_fileMichal Vyskocil
Variable definitions can be written on more than one line - if each ends with a backslash, then is concatenated with a previous one. Only backslash and unix end of line (\n) are treated as a continuation. Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58083 [zj: squashed two patches together; cleaned up grammar; removed comment about ignoring trailing backslash -- it is not ignored.] Document continuation support in systemd.exec

2013-01-15man: add links to directive index to see-alsosZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
systemd.directives(5) is renamed to systemd.directives(7). Section 7 is "Miscellaneous".
2013-01-04Added globbing support to EnvironmentFilePekka Lundstrom
This patch allows globbing to be used with EnvironmentFile option. Example: EnvironmentFile=/etc/foo.d/*.conf t. Pekka

2012-11-15sched: Only setting CPUSchedulingPriority=rr doesn't workHolger Hans Peter Freyther
A service that only sets the scheduling policy to round-robin fails to be started. This is because the cpu_sched_priority is initialized to 0 and is not adjusted when the policy is changed. Clamp the cpu_sched_priority when the scheduler policy is set. Use the current policy to validate the new priority. Change the manual page to state that the given range only applies to the real-time scheduling policies. Add a testcase that verifies this change: $ make test-sched-prio; ./test-sched-prio [test/sched_idle_bad.service:6] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 1 [test/sched_rr_bad.service:7] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 0 [test/sched_rr_bad.service:8] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 100

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>

2012-08-13namespace: rework namespace supportLennart Poettering
- don't use pivot_root() anymore, just reuse root hierarchy - first create all mounts, then mark them read-only so that we get the right behaviour when people want writable mounts inside of read-only mounts - don't pass invalid combinations of MS_ constants to the kernel

2012-05-24main: add configuration option to alter capability bounding set for PID 1Lennart Poettering
This also ensures that caps dropped from the bounding set are also dropped from the inheritable set, to be extra-secure. Usually that should change very little though as the inheritable set is empty for all our uses anyway.
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.
2012-03-26journalctl,loginctl: drop systemd- prefix in binary namesLennart Poettering
Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat. All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the exception of the three primary user interface binaries: systemctl loginctl journalctl For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks: systemd-systemctl → systemctl systemd-loginctl → loginctl systemd-journalctl → journalctl We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify stay the way they are.
