This makes it so that tests no longer need to know the absolute paths to the
source and build dirs, instead using the systemd-runtest.env file to get these
paths when running from the build tree.
Confirmed that test-catalog works on `ninja test`, when called standalone and
also when the environment file is not present, in which case it will use the
installed location under /usr/lib/systemd/catalog.
The location can now also be overridden for this test by setting the
$SYSTEMD_CATALOG_DIR environment variable.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
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.
Drop the TEST_DATA_DIR macro as this was using alloca() within a
function call which is allegedly unsafe. So add a "suffix" argument to
get_testdata_dir() instead and call that directly.
Rename get_exe_relative_testdata_dir() to get_testdata_dir() and move
the env var check into that, so that everything interesting happens at
the same place.
It is useful to package test-* binaries and run them as root under
autopkgtest or manually on particular machines. They currently have a
built-in hardcoded absolute path to their test data, which does not work
when running the test programs from any other path than the original
build directory.
By default, make the tests look for their data in
<test_exe_directory>/testdata/ so that they can be called from any
directory (provided that the corresponding test data is installed
correctly). As we don't have a fixed static path in the build tree (as
build and source tree are independent), set $TEST_DIR with "make check"
to point to <srcdir>/test/, as we previously did with an automake
variable.
We don#t really support systems where XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not supported for
systemd --user. Hence, let's always set our own XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for tests that
involve systemd --user, so that we know it is set, and that it doesn't polute
the user's actual runtime dir.
