This code is not part of the public API of sd-netlink, nor used by it
internally and hence should not be in the sd-netlink directory.
Also, move the test case for it to src/test/.
The info printed in this function is the same as the non-Ex version of the
property so there's no point double printing.
Other places that print ExecXYZEx= properties are left alone since the
displayed information is different.
The specific header file is probably not copyrightable anyway, since
it's so trivial, but let's still add the SPDX header line so that a
systematic check for the line does't spit out this header needlessly.
Priority is 80. At least in Fedora, chrony uses 50, and ntpd 60.
timesyncd has lower priority, because if people install those other packages,
it's most likely on purpose. timesyncd is always installed and provides
less functionality.
We removed support for foreign services (and ntp-units.d/) in b72ddf0f4.
Support for foreign services was added back in 5d280742, but through an
environment variable.
The problem with the env var approach is that it only works as a mechanism
to select one item, and doesn't work nicely as a mechinism to create a list
of items through drop-ins (because the env var can be easily overridden, but not
extended). Having a list of "ntp providers" is important to be able to reliably disable
all of them when that is requested.
Another problem is that nobody ever bothered to care about our new "standard".
ntp-units.d/ is a nice simple format that works and is already supported by
chrony and ntpd and timedatex. If we were to introduce and ask people to follow
a new standard, there should be some good reason for this. The idea with env
vars has lower functionality, requires systemd-specific syntax. We should just
re-adopt the format that we originally introduced and that seems to work for
everyone, and more on to more interesting problems.
In recent systemd-nspawn we wouldn't parse init args like systemd.log-level=debug.
This is because we wouldn't even look at /proc/1/cmdline.
$ systemd-nspawn -n cat /proc/1/stat
1 (cat) R 0 1 1 34816 ....

34816 is 136:0 a.k.a. /dev/pts/0.
