... when called with a valid environment variable name. This means that
any time we call it with a fixed string, it is guaranteed to return 0.
(Also when the variable is not present in the environment block.)
This partially reverts db11487d10 (the logic to
calculate the correct value is removed, we always use the same setting as for
the system manager). Distributions have an easy mechanism to override this if
they wish.
I think making this configurable is better, because different distros clearly
want different defaults here, and making this configurable is nice and clean.
If we don't make it configurable, distros which either have to carry patches,
or what would be worse, rely on some other configuration mechanism, like
/etc/profile. Those other solutions do not apply everywhere (they usually
require the shell to be used at some point), so it is better if we provide
a nice way to override the default.
Fixes #13469.
prefix_root() is equivalent to path_join() in almost all ways, hence
let's remove it.
There are subtle differences though: prefix_root() will try shorten
multiple "/" before and after the prefix. path_join() doesn't do that.
This means prefix_root() might return a string shorter than both its
inputs combined, while path_join() never does that. I like the
path_join() semantics better, hence I think dropping prefix_root() is
totally OK. In the end the strings generated by both functon should
always be identical in terms of path_equal() if not streq().
This leaves prefix_roota() in place. Ideally we'd have path_joina(), but
I don't think we can reasonably implement that as a macro. or maybe we
can? (if so, sounds like something for a later PR)
Also add in a few missing OOM checks
Let's not use atoi() if we can simply provide the project version as a number.
In C code, this is the numerical project version. In substitutions in other
files, this is just the bare substitution.
The "PACKAGE_" prefix is from autotools, and is strange. We call systemd a
"project", and "package" is something that distros build. Let's rename.
PACKAGE_URL is renamed to PROJECT_URL for the same reasons and for consistency.
(This leave PACKAGE_VERSION as the stringified define for C code.)
Previously, together with kill_dots true, patch like
".", "./.", ".//.//" would all return an empty string.
That is wrong. There must be one "." left to reference
the current directory.
Also, the comment with examples was wrong.
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.
The function is similar to path_kill_slashes() but also removes
initial './', trailing '/.', and '/./' in the path.
When the second argument of path_simplify() is false, then it
behaves as the same as path_kill_slashes(). Hence, this also
replaces path_kill_slashes() with path_simplify().
We check the same condition at various places. Let's add a trivial,
common helper for this, and use it everywhere.
It's not going to make things much faster or much shorter, but I think a
lot more readable
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.
Now the function returns an empty string when given an empty string.
Not sure if this is the best option (maybe this should be an error?),
but at least the behaviour is well defined.
The kernel will reply with -ENOTDIR when we try to access a non-directory under
a name which ends with a slash. But our functions would strip the trailing slash
under various circumstances. Keep the trailing slash, so that
path_is_mount_point("/path/to/file/") return -ENOTDIR when /path/to/file/ is a file.
Tests are added for this change in behaviour.
Also, when called with a trailing slash, path_is_mount_point() would get
"" from basename(), and call name_to_handle_at(3, "", ...), and always
return -ENOENT. Now it'll return -ENOTDIR if the mount point is a file, and
true if it is a directory and a mount point.
v2:
- use strip_trailing_chars()
v3:
- instead of stripping trailing chars(), do the opposite — preserve them.
Don't miscount number of "../" to generate, if we "." is included in an
input path.
Also, refuse if we encounter "../" since we can't possibly follow that
up properly, without file system access.
Some other modernizations.
This new helper removes a leading /dev if there is one. We have code
doing this all over the place, let's unify this, and correct it while
we are at it, by using path_startswith() rather than startswith() to
drop the prefix.
This filters out "." and ".." from glob results. Fixes#5655 and #5644.
Any judgements on whether the path is "safe" are removed. We will not remove
"/" under any name (including "/../" and such), but we will remove stuff that
is specified using paths that include "//", "/./" and "/../". Such paths can be
created when joining strings automatically, or for other reasons, and people
generally know what ".." and "." is.
Tests are added to make sure that the helper functions behave as expected.
Let's use chase_symlinks() everywhere, and stop using GNU
canonicalize_file_name() everywhere. For most cases this should not change
behaviour, however increase exposure of our function to get better tested. Most
importantly in a few cases (most notably nspawn) it can take the correct root
directory into account when chasing symlinks.
Depending on how binutils was configured and the --enable-fast-install
configure option, the test binary might be called either name.
Fixes: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3838
Link as many binaries as possible with it, to save storage space.
Preserve the static libshared and libbasic for use in libraries, nss
modules and udev.
Libraries need to be static in order to avoid polluting the symbol
namespace.
Udev needs to be static so downstream can avoid strict version dependencies
with the systemd package, and this can complicate upgrade scenarios.
