This only sets the environment for user *services*, it has no effect on
sessions, as those get an env block set up by whatever program sets them
up and not systemd.
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
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
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.
The example for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment.d man page is wrong.
When setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the new directory usually needs to be at
the front so it overrides old directories.
In the example, the colon delimiter is correctly prepended to the front, but
the actual new path is erroneously appended to the end.
This commit moves it to the front where it belongs.
Sometimes it's useful to provide a default value during an environment
expansion, if the environment variable isn't already set.
For instance $XDG_DATA_DIRS is suppose to default to:
/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/
if it's not yet set. That means callers wishing to augment
XDG_DATA_DIRS need to manually add those two values.
This commit changes replace_env to support the following shell
compatible default value syntax:
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/foo:${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share}
Likewise, it's useful to provide an alternate value during an
environment expansion, if the environment variable isn't already set.
For instance, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH will inadvertently search the current
working directory if it starts or ends with a colon, so the following
is usually wrong:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/foo/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
To address that, this changes replace_env to support the following
shell compatible alternate value syntax:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/foo/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
[zj: gate the new syntax under REPLACE_ENV_ALLOW_EXTENDED switch, so
existing callers are not modified.]
In the future we might want to allow additional syntax (for example
"unset VAR". But let's check that the data we're getting does not contain
anything unexpected.
(Only in environment.d files.)
We have only basic compatibility with shell syntax, but specifying variables
without using braces is probably more common, and I think a lot of people would
be surprised if this didn't work.
Add support for /etc/environment and document the changes to the user manager
to automatically import environment *.conf files from:
~/.config/environment.d/
/etc/environment.d/
/run/environment.d/
/usr/local/lib/environment.d/
/usr/lib/environment.d/
/etc/environment
