These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
This is a follow-up to 5d2036b5f3, and also makes
the "machinectl clean" verb asynchronous, after all it's little more than a
series of image removals.
The changes required to make this happen are a bit more comprehensive as we
need to pass information about deleted images back to the client, as well as
information about the image we failed on if we failed on one. Hence, create a
temporary file in /tmp, serialize that data into, and read it from the parent
after the operation is complete.
Cloning an image can be slow, if the image is not on a btrfs subvolume, hence
let's make sure we do this asynchronously in a child process, so that machined
isn't blocked as long as we process the client request.
This adds a new, generic "Operation" object to machined, that is used to track
these kind of background processes.
This is inspired by the MachineOperation object that already exists to make
copy operations asynchronous. A later patch will rework the MachineOperation
logic to use the generic Operation instead.
