2016-11-08man: add an example how to unconditionally empty a directory (#4570)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It was logical, but not entirely obvious, that 'e' with no arguments does nothing. Expand the explanation a bit and add an example. Fixes #4564.

2016-04-20tmpfiles: add new 'e' action which cleans up a dir without creating itZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
I wanted to add a config line that would empty a directory without creating it if doesn't exist. Existing actions don't allow this. v2: properly add 'e' to needs_glob() and takes_ownership()
2016-04-20man: try to explain different actions in tmpfiles a bit betterZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
- do not suggest that vendor configuration files should be in /etc, use /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d instead - split the first example, because the text talked about "needing two directories", but then a smack attribute was also set, and on a different path, which looked like a typo. Replace that with the example from original patch [1] which added 't'. - fix the example for /var/tmp/abrt. The 'x' line was redundant, because /var/tmp/abrt/* is already filtered because "d /var/tmp/abrt" overrides "d /var/tmp". [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/25051

2015-11-16tmpfiles: create subvolumes for "v", "q", and "Q" only if / is a subvolumeLennart Poettering
It's not a good idea to create subvolumes for parts of the OS tree (such as /home, or /var) if the root directory is not a subvolume too. We shouldn't assume control of "heavier" objects such as subvolumes, if the originating object (the root directory) is a "light-weight" object, i.e. a plain directory. Effectively this means that chroot() environments that are run on a plain directory do not have to deal with problems around systemd creating subvolumes that cannot be removed with a simple "rm" anymore. However, if the chroot manager creates a proper subvolume for such an environment it will also get further subvolumes placed in there, under the assumption that the manager understands the concept of subvolumes in that case.

2015-10-22tmpfiles: introduce "q" and "Q" for creating quota-enabled btrfs subvolumesLennart Poettering
This allows us to set up the quota group hierarchy in a reasonable way on btrfs file systems.
2015-10-19man: tmpfiles.d: add info about age fieldEvgeny Vereshchagin
The age field applies to lines starting with `v`, `C`, `X` too. See the function `clean_item` in the file `src/tmpfiles/tmpfiles.c`
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.

2015-04-13man: document which tmpfiles line types follow symlinksLennart Poettering
Generally, we will not follow symlinks, except for "w". Avoid documentation for now for fifo, device node, directory lines, which currently follow symlinks but better shouldn't.

2015-01-22shared/acl-util: add mask only when needed, always add base ACLsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
For ACLs to be valid, a set of entries for user, group, and other must be always present. Always add those entries. While at it, only add the mask ACL if it is actually required, i.e. when at least on ACL for non-owner group or user exists.
2015-01-22tmpfiles: implement augmenting of existing ACLsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This is much more useful in practice (equivalent to setfacl -m).
2015-01-22tmpfiles: make t and a globby, add their recursive versions T and AZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
For types which adapt existing files it is generally more useful to accept globs. In analogy to z and Z, add recursive versions using uppercase letters. Technically, making a accept globs is backwards incompatible, but in practice it probably isn't yet widely used and we can assume that most people don't create files with wildcards in names. Functions which are used as callbacks, but not directly on items, are renamed not to have "item_" prefix.
2015-01-22tmpfiles: add 'a' type to set ACLsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2015-01-22tmpfiles: attach an array of items to each pathZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The data structure used by tmpfiles is changed: instead of hashmaps mapping {path → Item*} we now have hashmaps containing {path -> ItemArray}, where ItemArray contains a pointer to an array of Items. For current code it doesn't matter much, but when we add new types it is easier to simply add a new Item for a given path, then to coalesce multiple lines into one Item. In the future, this change will also make it possible to remember the file and line where each Item originates, and use that in reporting errors. Currently this is not possible, since each Item can be created from multiple lines.
2015-01-18man: reindent tmpfiles.d(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Reindent to 2 spaces, use more markup.
2014-12-28tmpfiles: add new line type 'v' for creating btrfs subvolumesLennart Poettering
2014-12-04tmpfiles, man: Add xattr support to tmpfilesMaciej Wereski
This patch makes it possible to set extended attributes on files created by tmpfiles. This can be especially used to set SMACK security labels on volatile files and directories. It is done by adding new line of type "t". Such line should contain attributes in Argument field, using following format: name=value All other fields are ignored. If value contains spaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks. User can also put quotation mark in value by escaping it with backslash. Example: D /var/run/cups - - - - t /var/run/cups - - - - security.SMACK64=printing

2014-06-19tmpfiles: make sure "C" doesn't copy anything if the destination already existsLennart Poettering
Previously it would recursively copy the entire tree in, and descend into subdirectories even if the destination already exists. Let's do what the documentation says and not do that. If files down the tree shall be copied too, they should get their own "C" lines.
2014-06-18tmpfiles: add "+" modifier support to b, c, p lines in addition to LLennart Poettering
2014-06-16tmpfiles: add new "L+" command as stronger version of "L", that removes the ↵Lennart Poettering
destination before creating a symlink Also, make use of this for mtab as long as mount insists on creating it even if we invoke it with "-n".
2014-06-11tmpfiles: add ability to mask access mode by pre-existing access mode on ↵Lennart Poettering
files/directories This way it makes a lot more sense to specify an access mode for "Z" lines.
2014-06-11tmpfiles: when processing lines, always process prefixes before suffixesLennart Poettering
If two lines refer to paths that are suffix and prefix of each other, then always process the prefix first, the suffix second. In all other cases strictly process rules in the order they appear in the files. This makes creating /var/run as symlink to /run a lot more fun, since it is automatically created first.
2014-06-10tmpfiles: get rid of "m" lines, make them redundant by "z"Lennart Poettering
"m" so far has been a non-globbing version of "z". Since this makes it quite redundant, let's get rid of it. Remove "m" from the man pages, beef up "z" docs instead, and make "m" nothing more than a compatibility alias for "z".
2014-06-10tmpfiles: add new "C" line for copying files or directoriesLennart Poettering

Set commas where there should be some. Some improvements to word order.

As discussed on the ML these are useful to manage runtime directories below /run for services.

/run was already used almost everywhere, fix the remaining places for consistency.
2014-02-14man: always place <programlisting> and </programlisting> in a line with ↵Lennart Poettering
actual sources, so that we don't get spurious newlines in the man page output
2014-02-10nspawn,man: use a common vocabulary when referring to selinux security contextsLennart Poettering
Let's always call the security labels the same way: SMACK: "Smack Label" SELINUX: "SELinux Security Context" And the low-level encapsulation is called "seclabel". Now let's hope we stick to this vocabulary in future, too, and don't mix "label"s and "security contexts" and so on wildly.
2013-12-30tmpfiles: rename --unsafe to --bootZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
As suggested by Kay, it is better to describe what is done, not what might happen.
