2015-11-10Remove snapshot unit typeZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Snapshots were never useful or used for anything. Many systemd developers that I spoke to at systemd.conf2015, didn't even know they existed, so it is fairly safe to assume that this type can be deleted without harm. The fundamental problem with snapshots is that the state of the system is dynamic, devices come and go, users log in and out, timers fire... and restoring all units to some state from the past would "undo" those changes, which isn't really possible. Tested by creating a snapshot, running the new binary, and checking that the transition did not cause errors, and the snapshot is gone, and snapshots cannot be created anymore. New systemctl says: Unknown operation snapshot. Old systemctl says: Failed to create snapshot: Support for snapshots has been removed. IgnoreOnSnaphost settings are warned about and ignored: Support for option IgnoreOnSnapshot= has been removed and it is ignored http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-November/034872.html
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.

2013-07-12man: use <literal> not <filename> for suffixesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Especially sentences like "filename ends in .suffix" are easier to parse if the suffix is surrounded by quotes. In sentences like "requires a .service unit", where the suffix is used as a class designation, there is no need to use quotes.

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".
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.
