2013-07-26rework systemd's own process environment handling/passingKay Sievers
Stop importing non-sensical kernel-exported variables. All parameters in the kernel command line are exported to the initial environment of PID1, but suppressed if they are recognized by kernel built-in code. The EFI booted kernel will add further kernel-internal things which do not belong into userspace. The passed original environ data of the process is not touched and preserved across re-execution, to allow external reading of /proc/self/environ for process properties like container*=.
2013-07-21man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits.

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'.]

2013-05-30core: read "debug" from kernel commandline and set log levelLukas Nykryn
2013-05-06systemd-sleep: add support for freeze and standbyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
A new config file /etc/systemd/sleep.conf is added. It is parsed by systemd-sleep and logind. The strings written to /sys/power/disk and /sys/power/state can be configured. This allows people to use different modes of suspend on systems with broken or special hardware. Configuration is shared between systemd-sleep and logind to enable logind to answer the question "can the system be put to sleep" as correctly as possible without actually invoking the action. If the user configured systemd-sleep to only use 'freeze', but current kernel does not support it, logind will properly report that the system cannot be put to sleep. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793 https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=7e73c5ae6e7991a6c01f6d096ff8afaef4458c36 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/009238.html SYSTEM_CONFIG_FILE and USER_CONFIG_FILE defines were removed since they were used in only a few places and with the addition of /etc/systemd/sleep.conf it becomes easier to just append the name of each file to the dir name.
2013-04-17Revert "man/systemd.xml: change the signal names to kill systemd"Harald Hoyer
This reverts commit 432c30d25fc2a7b4939d5ea6c29708e1323a2b9c. Suggestion was to fix bash instead. :-/
2013-04-17man/systemd.xml: change the signal names to kill systemdHarald Hoyer
Using the signal name to put systemd in debug mode with bash results in: $ kill -s SIGRTMIN+22 1 bash: kill: SIGRTMIN+22: invalid signal specification whereas this works: $ kill -s SIGRTMAX-8 1 /usr/bin/kill understands both signal names, so just change them to the bash names.
2013-02-13man: rename systemd.conf to systemd-system.confZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Alias as systemd-user.conf is also provided. This should help users running systemd in session mode. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690868
2013-02-07man: describe unit load path in systemd.unit(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
In other cases where multiple directories are searched for unit files, the list of directories is described in the man page describing the format. I think this makes sense too in case of systemd directories, since the systemd(1) manpage already has an overview of many different topics.
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.
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".

2012-10-26man: 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>
2012-09-14man: mention journalctl in the systemd man pageLennart Poettering
2012-07-17systemd: add --version optionZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
systemd --version mirrors systemctl --version: $ ./systemd --version systemd 186 other +PAM +LIBWRAP +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +SYSVINIT -LIBCRYPTSETUP This information can be retrieved by other means (systemctl, etc.), but it's easier for a newbie if 'systemd --version' says something useful. And 'systemd --help' is already there, so let's complement that with '--version'.
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.
2012-07-13man: move header file man pages from section 7 to 3Lennart Poettering
This way we can include documentation about minor macros/inline function within the introducionary man page in a sane way.

2012-06-22man: introduce bootup(7)Lennart Poettering
2012-06-22core: remove sysv_console optionLennart Poettering
This option never made much sense. It was originally intended to make sure that the usual startup output of sysv scripts goes to the terminal. However, since SysV scripts started from a terminal would not output to that terminal, but rather /dev/console this effect was more often than not actually taking place. Nowadays systemd has much nicer boot time status output than SysV which makes the sysv output redundant. Finally, all output of services goes to the journal anyway, and is not lost. Hence, let's drop this option, and simplify things a bit.

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.

2011-03-14core: move abstract namespace sockets to /dev/.runLennart Poettering
Now that we have /dev/.run there's no need to use abstract namespace sockets. So, let's move things to /dev/.run, to make things more easily discoverable and improve compat with chroot() and fs namespacing.
