This patch improves parsing and generation of timestamps and calendar
specifications in two ways:
- The week day is now always printed in the abbreviated English form, instead
of the locale's setting. This makes sure we can always parse the week day
again, even if the locale is changed. Given that we don't follow locale
settings for printing timestamps in any other way either (for example, we
always use 24h syntax in order to make uniform parsing possible), it only
makes sense to also stick to a generic, non-localized form for the timestamp,
too.
- When parsing a timestamp, the local timezone (in its DST or non-DST name)
may be specified, in addition to "UTC". Other timezones are still not
supported however (not because we wouldn't want to, but mostly because libc
offers no nice API for that). In itself this brings no new features, however
it ensures that any locally formatted timestamp's timezone is also parsable
again.
These two changes ensure that the output of format_timestamp() may always be
passed to parse_timestamp() and results in the original input. The related
flavours for usec/UTC also work accordingly. Calendar specifications are
extended in a similar way.
The man page is updated accordingly, in particular this removes the claim that
timestamps systemd prints wouldn't be parsable by systemd. They are now.
The man page previously showed invalid timestamps as examples. This has been
removed, as the man page shouldn't be a unit test, where such negative examples
would be useful. The man page also no longer mentions the names of internal
functions, such as format_timestamp_us() or UNIX error codes such as EINVAL.

For backwards compatibility, both the new format (Mon..Wed) and
the old format (Mon-Wed) are supported.

Let's be accurate here, as this might be surprising to people.

nginx defines an uppercase "M" that way (in contrast to the lowercase
"m" for "minute"), and it sounds like an OK logic to follow, so that we
understand a true superset of time values nginx understands.

"UTC time" is a RAP phrase (redundant acronym phrase phrase).

Me again :) Just noticed one of these in a manpage and did another pass
to clean them up. See 16dad32e437fdf2ffca03cc60a083d84bd31886f for
explanation, though the link needs updating:

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.

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.

See bug 87859 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87859). Bug
reporter found the language describing the effect of specifying both a
day and date unclear; hopefully the attached patch will clarify and
allow the bug to be closed.

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)
|
|
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and
orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.
In this particular commit:
- the usual comma fixes
- expand contractions (this is prose)
|
|
|
|
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'.]

systemd.directives(5) is renamed to systemd.directives(7).
Section 7 is "Miscellaneous".
