2016-11-29units: add system-update-cleanup.service to guard against offline-update loopsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Note: the name is "system-update-cleanup.service" rather than "system-update-done.service", because it should not run normally, and also because there's already "systemd-update-done.service", and having them named so similarly would be confusing. In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395686 the system repeatedly entered system-update.target on boot. Because of a packaging issue, the tool that created the /system-update symlink could be installed without the service unit that was supposed to perform the upgrade (and remove the symlink). In fact, if there are no units in system-update.target, and /system-update symlink is created, systemd always "hangs" in system-update.target. This is confusing for users, because there's no feedback what is happening, and fixing this requires starting an emergency shell somehow, and also knowing that the symlink must be removed. We should be more resilient in this case, and remove the symlink automatically ourselves, if there are no upgrade service to handle it. This adds a service which is started after system-update.target is reached and the symlink still exists. It nukes the symlink and reboots the machine. It should subsequently boot into the default default.target. This is a more general fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395686 (the packaging issue was already fixed).
2016-11-29man: update the description of offline updatesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
- use "service" instead of "script", because various offline updaters that we have aren't really scripts, e.g. dnf-plugin-system-upgrade, packagekit-offline-update, fwupd-offline-update. - strongly recommend After=sysinit.target, Wants=sysinit.target - clarify a bit what should happen when multiple update services are started - replace links to the wiki with refs to the man page that replaced it.

2016-04-02man/offline-updates: more links and support for multiple upgrade servicesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Most of the changes are already implemented in dnf-system-upgrade.service and packagekit-offline-update.service, so this update mostly changes the documentation to match status quo.
2016-03-15man: import "Implementing Offline System Updates"Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This imports most of http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/SystemUpdates/ to turn it into a man page. Similarly for the man page about generators, this will make it easier to keep up-to-date, keep a history of changes, and make it more discoverable for end-users.
