This makes the default build much quicker. If people are building systemd for
packaging or actual installation, they probably need to set some more options
anyway (-Ddns-servers=, -Dntp-servers=), so adding -Dman=true is not a big
burden.
For CIs configured locally, -Dman=true is added to restore status quo ante.
Cloudflare public DNS service is currently the fastest one according to
https://www.dnsperf.com/#!dns-resolvers. Why not improve the experience for
systemd users using this as a default fallback nameserver?
This will be useful when building distro packages, because we can set the
version string to the rpm/dpkg/whatever version string, and getter reports
from end users.
This is useful for distributions, where the stability of interface names should
be preseved after an upgrade of systemd. So when some specific release of the
distro is made available, systemd defaults to the latest & greatest naming
scheme, and subsequent updates set the same default. This default may still
be overriden through the kernel and env var options.
A special value "latest" is also allowed. Without a specific name, it is harder
to verride from meson. In case of 'combo' options, meson reads the default
during the initial configuration, and "remembers" this choice. When systemd is
updated, old build/ directories could keep the old default, which would be
annoying. Hence, "latest" is introduced to make it explicit, yet follow the
upstream. This is actually useful for the user too, because it may be used
as an override, without having to actually specify a version.
After discussions with kernel folks, a system with memcg really
shouldn't need extra hard limits on file descriptors anymore, as they
are properly accounted for by memcg anyway. Hence, let's bump these
values to their maximums.
This also adds a build time option to turn thiss off, to cover those
users who do not want to use memcg.
The justification is the same as for -Dvalgrind: setting config in
meson in this way is easier, because when the value is changed stuff
that should be rebuilt is rebuilt.
cross building systemd to arm64 presently fails, because the build
system uses plain gcc and plain ld (build architecture compiler and
linker respectively) for building src/boot/efi. These values come from
the efi-cc and efi-ld options respectively. It rather should be using
host tools here.

This provides basic OpenSSL support without optimizations like TCP Fast Open and TLS Session Tickets.
Notice only a single SSL library can be enabled at a time and therefore journald functions provided by GnuTLS will be disabled when using OpenSSL.
Fixes#9531
This bumps the minimum required version of meson to 0.45 and
python to 3.5, as integer type option is supported since meson-0.45
and meson-0.45 requires python-3.5.
This adds -Dnss-resolve= and -Dnss-mymachines= meson options.
By using this option, e.g., resolved can be built without nss-resolve.
When no nss modules are built, then test-nss is neither built.
Also, This changes the option name -Dmyhostname= to -Dnss-myhostname=
for consistency to other nss related options.
Closes#9596.
Back in 2012 the project was renamed, see the release notes for v 0.105
[https://cgit.freedesktop.org/polkit/tree/NEWS#n754]. Let's update our
documentation and comments to do the same. Referring to PolicyKit is confusing
to users because at the time the polkit api changed too, and we support the new
version. I updated NEWS too, since all the references to PolicyKit there were
added after the rename.
"PolicyKit" is unchanged in various URLs and method call names.
Systemctl is special because it is required for many tasks that may need to
be performed when the system is not fully configured and/or partially
broken:
1. Installing/Uninstalling services during OS installs and upgrades
2. Shutting down the system
Therefore reduce the number of dependencies that systemctl pulls in, by
not linking to systemd-shared. This brings a bit of resilience to
systemctl (and its aliases shutdown, reboot, etc), by linking against
less external libraries.
Because this extra resilience comes at a cost of approximately 580 KB
extra space, this is done behind a meson build option.
This adds a small service "systemd-portabled" and a matching client
"portablectl", which implement the "portable service" concept.
The daemon implements the actual operations, is PolicyKit-enabled and is
activated on demand with exit-on-idle.
Both the daemon and the client are an optional build artifact, enabled
by default rhough.
Configuration through environment variable is inconvenient with meson, because
they cannot be convieniently changed and/or are not preserved during
reconfiguration (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1503).
This adds -Dvalgrind=true/false, which has the advantage that it can be set
at any time with meson configure -Dvalgrind=... and ninja will rebuild targets
as necessary. Additional minor advantages are better consistency with the
options for hashmap debugging, and typo avoidance with '#if' instead of '#ifdef'.
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.
Follow-up for ba7f4ae617.
By default, we detect if the real root has a separate /usr/sbin directory, but
this can be overrides with -Dsplit-bin=true|false. The check assumes that
/usr/sbin is split if it is not a symlink, so it'll return a false negative
with some more complicated setups. But that's OK, in those cases this should be
configured explicitly.
This will copy the structure of the directories in the root file system to
$DESTDIR. If a directory is a directory in $DESTDIR but a symlink in the root
file system, this script will fail. This means that it's not possible to reuse
a $DESTDIR from between ba7f4ae61 and this patch.
Add a new -Dllvm-fuzz=true option that can be used to build against
libFuzzer and update the oss-fuzz script to work outside of the
oss-fuzz build environment.
The fuzzers will be used by oss-fuzz to automatically and
continuously fuzz systemd.
This commit includes the build tooling necessary to build fuzz
targets, and a fuzzer for the DNS packet parser.
Currently there is no way to prevent tests from building using meson.
This introduces two problems:
1) It adds a extra 381 files to compile.
2) One of these tests explicitly requires libgcrypt to be built even if systemd
is not using it.
3) It adds C++ to the requirements to build systemd.
When cross-compiling, this is uneccessary.
On a typical system running systemd, the telinit in PATH is very likely to be a symlink
to systemctl. Setting TELINIT to this may result in an infinite recursion if telinit is called
and sd_booted() == 0. This may commonly occur in a chroot environment.

[zj:
The path was originally hardcoded as "/lib/upstart/telinit", but was made configurable without
changing the default in 4ad61fd180. Then the default was
changed to `/lib/sysvinit/telinit` in abaaabf40a. Then it
started being autodetected when meson support was added in
5c23128dab. This patch restores the behaviour that was
implemented in configure.ac at the time of its removal.]
