* man: change license of examples to MIT-0Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2022-10-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Quoting Richard Fontana in [1]: CC0 has been listed by Fedora as a 'good' license for code and content (corresponding to allowed and allowed-content under the new system). We plan to classify CC0 as allowed-content only, so that CC0 would no longer be allowed for code. Over a long period of time a consensus has been building in FOSS that licenses that preclude any form of patent licensing or patent forbearance cannot be considered FOSS. CC0 has a clause that says: "No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document." (The trademark side of that clause is nonproblematic from a FOSS licensing norms standpoint.) The regular Creative Commons licenses have similar clauses. For the case of our documentation snippets, patent issues do not matter much. But it is always nicer to have a license that is considerred acceptable without any further considerations. So let's change the license to the (now recommended replacement) MIT-0. [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/NO7KGDNL5GX3KCB7T3XTGFA3QPSUJA6R/ Using 'git blame -b' and 'git log -p --follow', I identified the following folks as having made non-trivial changes to those snippets: Lennart Poettering Tom Gundersen Luca Bocassi Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek Thomas Mühlbacher Daan De Meyer I'll ask for confirmation in the pull request.
* check-os-release.py compatible with Python < 3.8David Jaša2022-08-241-1/+2
| | | The ":=" operator was only added in Python 3.8 so splitting the line with it into two makes check-os-release.py actually fulfill its claim of working with any python version.
* man: recommend built-in platform.freedesktop_os_release() in our pageZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2022-02-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Python gained support for reading os-release, let's advertise it a bit more. Our open-coded example is still useful, but let's not suggest it as the default implementation. I added quotes around the printed string because it looks a bit better this way.
* man: prettify line number handling in python exampleZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2021-11-301-2/+2
| | | | | This way the 'line_number' variable contains the actual line number as we think of it, instead of adjusting it on output.
* man: add licenses to all files that lack oneLuca Boccassi2021-10-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | Documentation is licensed under LGPL-2.1-or-later. Scripts are MIT to facilitate reuse. Examples are relicensed to CC0-1.0 to maximise copy-and-paste for users, with permission from authors.
* man/check-os-release.*: allow ID_LIKE to have multiple valuesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2021-05-221-2/+2
| | | | I missed the fact that it is documented to be a space-separated list.
* man/check-os-release.py: ignore comment and empty linesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2021-05-221-4/+11
| | | | Plus fix off-by-one in error printing.
* man/check-os-release.py: strip trailing whitespaceZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2021-05-221-1/+1
| | | | The shell parser would do that, so so should we.
* man: add example os-release mangling in pythonZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2021-05-211-0/+28
This is also not entirely obvious. I think the code I came up with is pretty elegant ;] The final part of of the code that makes use of the parsed data is kept very similar to the shell code on purpose, even though it could be written a bit more idiomatically.
