This reverts the second part of 8125e8d38e.
The first part was reverted in 750e550eba.
The problem starts when s-v-s.s is pulled in by something that is then pulled
in by sysinit.target. Every time a unit is started, systemd recursively checks
all dependencies, and since sysinit.target is pull in by almost anything, we'll
start s-v-s.s over and over. In particular, plymouth-start.service currently
has Wants=s-v-s.s and After=s-v-s.s.
When the service is run in the initramfs, it is possible for it to get started
and not be fast enough to exit before the root switch happens. It is started
multiple times (depending on the consoles being detected), and runs
asynchronously, so this is quite likely. It'll then get killed by killall(),
and systemd will consider the service failed. To avoid all this, just wait
for the service to terminate on it's own.
Before=initrd-switch-root.target should be good for the initramfs, and
Before=shutdown.tuarget should be good for the real system, although it's
unlikely to make any difference there.
Udev rules cover all the necessary initializations.
As the service now is neither installed, nor installable - we can
remove explicit dependencies and RemainAfterExit=yes option.
This should help making the boot process a bit easier to explore and
understand for the administrator. The simple idea is that "systemctl
status" now shows a link to documentation alongside the other status and
decriptionary information of a service.
This patch adds the necessary fields to all our shipped units if we have
proper documentation for them.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
DefaultStandardOutput is syslog anyway. There's no reason to assume that
the administrator would want these units to be excluded when he configures
a different DefaultStandardOutput.
