2012-09-16tmpfiles: use write(2) for the 'w' actionDave Reisner
This resolves problems with filesystems which do not implement the aio_write file operation. In this case, the kernel will fall back using a loop writing technique for each pointer in a received iovec. The result is strange errors in dmesg such as: [ 31.855871] elevator: type not found [ 31.856262] elevator: switch to [ 31.856262] failed It does not make sense to implement a synchronous aio_write method for sysfs as this isn't a real filesystem where a reasonable use case for using writev exists, nor is there an expectation that tmpfiles will be used to write more data than can be reasonably written in a single write syscall. In addition, some sysfs attrs are currently buggy and will NOT reject the second write with the newline, causing the sysfs value to be zeroed out. This of course should be fixed in the kernel regardless of any wrongdoing in userspace, but this simple change makes us immune to such a bug. This change means that we do not write a trailing newline by default, as the expected use case of 'w' is for sysfs and procfs. In exchange, honor C-style backslash escapes so that if the newline is really needed, the user can add it.
2012-09-12tmpfiles: support globbing for w optionDave Reisner
Break out the write logic into a separate function and simply use it as a callback to glob_item. This allows users to consolidate writes to sysfs with multiple similar pathnames, e.g. w /sys/class/block/sd[a-z]/queue/read_ahead_kb - - - - 1024

clean up It's logind's job to maintain those user dirs, so avoid automatic clean up for them. However, we do cover everything within them.

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.
2012-03-14conf: when looking for configurations look in /etc first, in /run secondLennart Poettering
After long consideration we came to the conclusion that user configuration in /etc should always override the (generally computer generated) configuration in /run. User configuration should always be what matters over anything else. Hence rearrange the search orders accordingly. In general this should change very little as overriding like this is seldomn done so far, and the order between /etc and /usr stays the same.
