Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.
$ perl -i -0pe 's/\s*<authorgroup>.*<.authorgroup>//gms' man/*xml
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
With Type=notify services, EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC= messages will delay any startup/
runtime/shutdown timeouts.
A service that hasn't timed out, i.e, start time < TimeStartSec,
runtime < RuntimeMaxSec and stop time < TimeoutStopSec, may by sending
EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC=, allow the service to continue beyond the limit for
the execution phase (i.e TimeStartSec, RunTimeMaxSec and TimeoutStopSec).
EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC= must continue to be sent (in the same way as
WATCHDOG=1) within the time interval specified to continue to reprevent
the timeout from occuring.
Watchdog timeouts are also extended if a EXTEND_TIMEOUT_USEC is greater
than the remaining time on the watchdog counter.
Fixes#5868.
Currenly the only way to remove fds from the fdstore is to fully
stop the service, or to somehow trigger POLLERR/POLLHUP on the fd, in
which case systemd will remove the fd automatically.
Let's add another way: a new message that can be sent to remove fds
explicitly, given their name.
This also alters the documentation to recommend memfds rather than /run
for serializing state across reboots. That's because /run doesn't
actually have the same lifecycle as the fd store, as it is cleared out
on restarts.
Fixes: #5606
As requested in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4864#pullrequestreview-12372557.
docbook will substitute triple dots for the ellipsis in man output, so this has
no effect on the troff output, only on HTML, making it infinitesimally nicer.
In some places we show output from programs, which use dots, and those places
should not be changed. In some tables, the alignment would change if dots were
changed to the ellipsis which is only one character. Since docbook replaces the
ellipsis automatically, we should leave those be. This patch changes all other
places.
Add sd_notify() parameter to change watchdog_usec during runtime.
Application can change watchdog_usec value by
sd_notify like this. Example. sd_notify(0, "WATCHDOG_USEC=20000000").
To reset watchdog_usec as configured value in service file,
restart service.
Notice.
sd_event is not currently supported. If application uses
sd_event_set_watchdog, or sd_watchdog_enabled, do not use
"WATCHDOG_USEC" option through sd_notify.
The existing text misleads readers into thinking how the notify socket protocol is "internals" and that they can only use the functions. However, the socket is part of the Interface Stability Promise. So, we should drop "internally" from the description so the man page both indicates both how the functions work and how one would talk to the socket directly.
This adds support for naming file descriptors passed using socket
activation. The names are passed in a new $LISTEN_FDNAMES= environment
variable, that matches the existign $LISTEN_FDS= one and contains a
colon-separated list of names.
This also adds support for naming fds submitted to the per-service fd
store using FDNAME= in the sd_notify() message.
This also adds a new FileDescriptorName= setting for socket unit files
to set the name for fds created by socket units.
This also adds a new call sd_listen_fds_with_names(), that is similar to
sd_listen_fds(), but also returns the names of the fds.
systemd-activate gained the new --fdname= switch to specify a name for
testing socket activation.
This is based on #1247 by Maciej Wereski.
Fixes#1247.
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.
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.
