The MESSAGE_ID=... stanza will appear in countless number of places.
It is just too long to write it out in full each time.
Incidentally, this also fixes a typo of MESSSAGE is three places.
The "$action-multiple-sessions" polkit actions are defined as
"$action while other users are logged in". To me this implies that the
following sessions should not count:
- greeter sessions
- user sessions belonging to the same user as the one who's asking
Not sure how to treat class SESSION_LOCK_SCREEN. I never have these.
I just ignore every class that's not SESSION_USER.

This takes handling of chassis power and sleep keys as well as the lid
switch over from acpid.
This logic is enabled by default for power and sleep keys, but not for
the lid switch.
If a graphical session is in the foreground no action is taken under the
assumption that the graphical session does this.
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.
For clean session endings ask logind explicitly to get rid of the FIFO
before closing it so that the FIFO logic doesn't result in su/sudo to be
terminated immediately.
This introduces the new PAM environment variable XDG_SESSION_CLASS. If
not set, defaults to "user".
This is useful for apps that want to distuingish real user logins from
"fake" ones which just exist to show a gdm login screen or a lock
screen.
The way the various properties[] arrays are initialized is inefficient:
- only the .data members change at runtime, yet the whole arrays of
properties with all the fields are constructed on the stack one by
one by the code.
- there's duplication, eg. the properties of "org.freedesktop.systemd1.Unit"
are repeated in several unit types.
Fix it by moving the information about properties into static const
sections. Instead of storing the .data directly in the property, store
a constant offset from a run-time base.
The small arrays of struct BusBoundProperties bind together the constant
information with the right runtime information (the base pointer).
On my system the code shrinks by 60 KB, data increases by 10 KB.
