2012-10-26man: typo fixesThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890 Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown" to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit 8bd3b8620c80d0f2383f2fb04315411fc8077ca1
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>

2012-07-26systemd: added new dependency PartOfMichal Sekletar
This should address TODO item "new dependency type to "group" services in a target". Semantic of new dependency is as follows. Once configured it creates dependency which will cause that all dependent units get stopped if unit they all depend on is stopped or restarted. Usual use case would be configuring PartOf=some.target in template unit file and WantedBy=some.target in [Install] section and enabling desired number of instances. In this case starting one instance won't pull in target but stopping or starting target(in case of WantedBy is properly configured) will cause stop/start of all instances.

Make sure the man page titles are similar in style and capitalization so that our man page index looks pretty.
2012-07-16unit: introduce %s specifier for the user shellLennart Poettering
2012-07-16unit: printf specifiers %u and %h: $USER and $HOME.Auke Kok
These printf specifiers allow us to refer to $HOME and $USER in unit files. These are particularly helpful in instanced units that have "User=" set, and in systemd --user domains. The specifiers will return the pw_name and pw_dir fields if the unit file has a User= field. If the unit file does not have a User= field, the value substituted is either $USER or $HOME from the environment, or, if unset, the values from pw_name or pw_dir. This patch is somewhat after Ran Benita's original patch, which didn't get merged. I've split up the 2 specifiers and extended them to do what is logically expected from these specifiers. Note that expansion is done at `start` time, not after the units are parsed. Using `systemctl show` will just show the specifiers.
2012-07-13unit: rename BindTo= to BindsTo=Lennart Poettering
all other dependencies are in 3rd person. Change BindTo= accordingly to BindsTo=. Of course, the dependency is widely used, hence we parse the old name too for compatibility.
2012-06-22unit: drop the Names= optionLennart Poettering
Names= is a source of errors, simply because alias names specified like this only become relevant after a unit has been loaded but cannot be used to load a unit. Let's get rid of the confusion and drop this field. To establish alias names peope should use symlinks, which have the the benefit of being useful as key to load a unit, even though they are not taken into account if unit names are listed but they haven't been explicitly referenced before.
2012-05-22units: remove service sysv_path variable and replace it by generic unit_pathLennart Poettering
UnitPath= is also writable via native units and may be used by generators to clarify from which file a unit is generated. This patch also hooks up the cryptsetup and fstab generators to set UnitPath= accordingly.
2012-05-21unit: introduce RequiredBy= setting in [Install], to complement WantedBy=Lennart Poettering
2012-05-21units: introduce new Documentation= field and make use of it everywhereLennart Poettering
This should help making the boot process a bit easier to explore and understand for the administrator. The simple idea is that "systemctl status" now shows a link to documentation alongside the other status and decriptionary information of a service. This patch adds the necessary fields to all our shipped units if we have proper documentation for them.
2012-04-30unit: add new dependency type RequiresMountsFor=Lennart Poettering
RequiresMountsFor= is a shortcut for adding requires and after dependencies to all mount units neeed for the specified paths. This solves a couple of issues regarding dep loop cycles for encrypted swap.

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.

ConditionPathExists and ConditionFileIsExecutable follow symlinks. ConditionPathIsDirectory does not follow symlinks. (XXX: is this actually the desired behavior?)
2011-09-06man: list specifiers in a tableMathieu Bridon
It was noted on IRC that the current layout is not necessarily the easiest to parse by humans. I personnally struggled understanding it the first time I read it. Hopefully, this change makes it easier to understand. Note: I only reformatted the information that was already present in the documentation, I didn't add anything.

The virtualization condition and others use lowercase identifiers, so for the sake of keeping things least surprising, use lowercase identifiers here too.
