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.
gettys are nowadays mostly autospawned and hence usually subject to
being shut down on isolate requests, since they are no dependency of any
other unit. This is a bad idea if the user isolates between
multi-user.graphical and graphical.target, hence exclude them from the
isolation.
This has the effect that gettys no longer cleaned up when
emergency.target is isolated, which might actualy be considered a
feature, even though it is a change from previous behaviour...
Note that the one getty that really matters (the one on tty1) is still
removed when isolating to emergency.target since it conflicts with
emergency.service.
This patch adds support for the Mageia Linux distribution:
http://www.mageia.org/
Mageia is a fork of Mandriva although some divergence has already occured
and thus inclusion of these changes upstream allow us to (hopefully)
migrate more rapidly to the new standard approaches systemd offers.
Indeed, we already use the preferred mechanism of OS identification via
the /etc/os-release file rather than a distro specific variation.
This patch mostly mirrors the patch added previously for Mandriva
support. In addition to those original authors, this patch was mostly
written by Dexter Morgan with help from Colin Guthrie and Eugeni Dodonov.
Explicitly disconnect all clients from a VT when a getty starts/finishes
(requires TIOCVHANGUP, available in 2.6.29).
Explicitly deallocate getty VTs in order to flush scrollback buffer.
Explicitly reset terminals to a defined state before spawning getty.
This merges several separate patches that I carry as part of
Mandriva systemd RPM. They touch those parts that are very
unlikely to be changed in near future and do not impose any
functionality change for systemd core. I also think it is
useful for troubleshooting to have real distribution name in
system logs, espicially when someone reports problem upstream.
The patch looks bigger than sum of replaced patches because
- previous patches were applied on top of distro=fedora, now
I need to add all those bits for distro=mandriva as well
- part of patch was done as spec file magic, but it seems more
logical to ship all these bits together
On the console indian characters cannot be displayed, hence it is
advisable to disable indian locales on the console, which most
distributions traditionally did from a shell fragment executed post
login. If getty gets started with locale settings passed it would itself
however be translated without the no-indian-on-console fixup applied.
Hence, for now don't pass any locale settings to getty/login, and thus
rely on the classic post-login script fragment to set and fix the
locale.
Eventually we probably want to drop this again since the system locale
should be read and set at one place, and not at multiple, and that one
place should be PID 1.

The property StopRetroactively= needs to be per-dependency, not
per-unit, in order to properly express dependencies between .mount units
and its .device and fsck .service units. If the .device unit is
unplugged the mount should go away, but if the fsck process terminates
the .mount should stay.
Previously Ubuntu was treated as being equivalent to Debian, but the two
distributions require different behaviour in certain places. This commit does
not change the behaviour of systemd on either distro but it creates a
framework for changes to be introduced by later commits.
The following previously meant "Target is Debian or Ubuntu".
* configure option "--with-distro=debian"
* C preprocessor symbol "TARGET_DEBIAN"
* Automake conditional "TARGET_DEBIAN"
After this commit, all of the above are redefined to mean "Target is Debian"
The following are introduced to mean "Target is Ubuntu".
* configure option "--with-distro=ubuntu"
* C preprocessor symbol "TARGET_UBUNTU"
* Automake conditional "TARGET_UBUNTU"
Most code written for Debian will also be applicable to Ubuntu. An extra
Automake conditional "TARGET_DEBIAN_OR_UBUNTU" is introduced to avoid
duplication of code that would otherwise occur.
This commit updates configure.ac, Makefile.am and distro-specific source files
in line with the above definitions.
This patch gives minimal Arch support (enough to boot).
We still need to parse the services to start from /etc/rc.conf before systemd can be a drop-in replacement on Arch.
