2015-11-18core: add new RandomSec= setting for time unitsLennart Poettering
This allows configuration of a random time on top of the elapse events, in order to spread time events in a network evenly across a range.
2015-11-18man: improve and fix documentation for RemainAfterElapse=Lennart Poettering
2015-11-17core: add RemainAfterElapse= setting to timer unitsLennart Poettering
Previously, after a timer unit elapsed we'd leave it around for good, which has the nice benefit that starting a timer that shall trigger at a specific point in time multiple times will only result in one trigger instead of possibly many. With this change a new option RemainAfterElapse= is added. It defaults to "true", to mimic the old behaviour. If set to "false" timer units will be unloaded after they elapsed. This is specifically useful for transient timer units.
2015-11-11man: document automatic dependenciesLennart Poettering
For all units ensure there's an "Automatic Dependencies" section in the man page, and explain which dependencies are automatically added in all cases, and which ones are added on top if DefaultDependencies=yes is set. This is also done for systemd.exec(5), systemd.resource-control(5) and systemd.unit(5) as these pages describe common behaviour of various unit types.

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.

2014-08-14timer: order OnCalendar units after timer-sync.target if DefaultDependencies=noTobias Geerinckx-Rice
Avoids triggering timers prematurely on systems with significantly inaccurate clocks, or some embedded platforms that lack one entirely.
2014-05-07doc: comma placement corrections and word orderJan Engelhardt
Set commas where there should be some. Some improvements to word order.

I think it is easier to grok this way.

2013-12-25man: grammar and wording improvementsJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: - missing words, preposition choice. - change of /lib to /usr/lib, because that is what most distros are using as the system-wide location for systemd/udev files.

2013-11-21timer: make timer accuracy configurableLennart Poettering
And make it default to 1min
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)
2013-07-12man: 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.
2013-07-02man: 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'.]

2013-01-26man: 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.

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.
