* tree-wide: replace "plural(s)" by "plurals"Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2022-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | (s) is just ugly with a vibe of DOS. In most cases just using the normal plural form is more natural and gramatically correct. There are some log_debug() statements left, and texts in foreign licenses or headers. Those are not touched on purpose.

* hostnamed: stop discriminating against "localhost" in /etc/hostnameZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2020-12-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We would sometimes ignore localhost-style names in /etc/hostname. That is brittle. If the user configured some hostname, it's most likely because they want to use that as the hostname. If they don't want to use such a hostname, they should just not create the config. Everything becomes simples if we just use the configured hostname as-is. This behaviour seems to have been a workaround for Anaconda installer and other tools writing out /etc/hostname with the default of "localhost.localdomain". Anaconda PR to stop doing that: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3040. That might have been useful as a work-around for other programs misbehaving if /etc/hostname was not present, but nowadays it's not useful because systemd mostly controls the hostname and it is perfectly happy without that file. Apart from making things simpler, this allows users to set a hostname like "localhost" and have it honoured, if such a whim strikes them.
* man/hostnamectl,hostaned,hostname1: adjust the docs to match realityZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2020-12-161-21/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantics were significantly changed in c779a44222161155c039a7fd2fd304c006590ac7 ("hostnamed: Fix the way that static and transient host names interact", Feb. 2014), but when the dbus api documentation was imported much later, it wasn't properly adjusted to describe those new semantics. 34293dfafd2a81d80727938199769906dab321bd which added systemd.hostname= also added new behaviour. Let's ove various bits and pieces around so that they are in more appropriate places. Drop recommendations to set the hostname for DHCP or mDNS purposes. Nowadays we expect tools that want to expose some different hostname to the outside to manage that internally without affecting visible state. Also drop mentions of DHCP or mDNS directly setting the hostname, since nowadays network management software is expected to (and does) go through hostnamed. Also, add a high-level description of semantics. It glosses over the details of handling of localhost-style names. Later commits will remove this special handling anyway.

* tree-wide: use "hostname" spelling everywhereZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2020-04-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and >1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular spelling choice.
* Move the Commands section above Options sectionZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2019-10-081-33/+33
| | | | | | | For executables which take a verb, we should list the verbs first, and then options which modify those verbs second. The general layout of the man page is from general description to specific details, usually Overview, Commands, Options, Return Value, Examples, References.
* man: use same header for all filesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2019-03-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere. $ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
* man: standarize on one-line license headerZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2019-03-141-4/+1
| | | | | | No need to waste space, and uniformity is good. $ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
* man: drop unused <authorgroup> tags from man sourcesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2018-06-141-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* tree-wide: remove Lennart's copyright linesLennart Poettering2018-06-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurbLennart Poettering2018-06-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* tree-wide: drop license boilerplateZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2018-04-061-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* hostname: add 'convertible' chassis typeDavid Herrmann2017-02-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Add the 'convertible' type to the set of allowed chassis. This applies to all devices that can be transformed by the user from laptop style to tablet style. This does not add any auto-detection, yet. It only makes 'set-chassis' accept 'convertible' as valid input.

| | | | | Let's make sure the man page actually documents what is implemented, i.e. "Lennart's PC" turns into "LennartsPC" when we clean up the name.

* man/hostnamectl: refer to transient hostname as "fallback"Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2016-02-061-4/+4
| | | | | Saying it is the "default" is misleading, because it is almost never used.
* man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen2015-06-181-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger2015-05-281-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* hostnamed: Fix the way that static and transient host names interactStef Walter2014-05-281-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is almost always incorrect to allow DHCP or other sources of transient host names to override an explicitly configured static host name. This commit changes things so that if a static host name is set, this will override the transient host name (eg: provided via DHCP). Transient host names can still be used to provide host names for machines that have not been explicitly configured with a static host name. The exception to this rule is if the static host name is set to "localhost". In those cases we act as if no static host name has been explicitly set. As discussed elsewhere, systemd may want to have an fd based ownership of the transient name. That part is not included in this commit.

* hostnamectl: show only specific hostname when requestedZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2013-08-141-7/+18
| | | | | | | Existing --pretty, --transient, --static options, used previously for 'set-hostname' verb, are reused for the 'status' verb. If one of them is given, only the specified hostname is printed. This way there's no need to employ awk to get the hostname in a script.

* man: Make options consistentWilliam Giokas2013-02-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | Option listings seemed to be pretty much random, some were short opt, long opt, others were long opt, short opt. This just makes every option with a short and long opt that I could find in the order short opt, long opt, for formatting's sake.
* build-sys: create Makefile-man.am automaticallyZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2013-02-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | man rules were repeating the same information in too many places, which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency, Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with make update-man-list If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed. If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably wouldn't be worth it.
* hostnamed: make chassis type configurable via /etc/machine-infoLennart Poettering2012-12-241-3/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For many usecases it is useful to store the chassis type somewhere, and /etc/machine-info sounds like a good place. Ideally we could always detect the chassis type from firmware, but frequently that's not available and in many embedded devices probably entirely unrealistic. This patch adds a configurable setting CHASSIS= to /etc/machine-info and exposes this via hostnamectl/hostnamed. hostnamed will guess the chassis type from DMI if nothing is set explicitly. I also added support for detecting it from ACPI, which should be more useful as ACPI 5.0 actually knows a "tablet" chassis type, which neither DMI nor previous ACPI versions knew. This also enables DMI-based and ACPI-based detection for non-x86 systems as ACPI is apparently coming to ARM platforms soon. I tried to minimize the vocabulary of chassis types understood and added: desktop, laptop, server, tablet, handset. This is much less than either APCI or DMI know. If we need more types later on we can easily add them.
