These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
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.
Let's make sure that when we return a D-Bus error, we return a native
one, if we generate it ourselves, and use errno-based error
synthetization only if we received an errno ourselves. Yes, this makes
things slightly longer, but is highly misleading as we propagate D-Bus
errors, and not errnos to the client.
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

squash! build-sys: use #if Y instead of #ifdef Y everywhere

- fix incorrect setting of HAVE_LIBIDN2
Fixup for 4b58153dd2.
I saw this because of a clang warning. With gcc the -Wformat-nonliteral warning
doesn't seem to work as expected.
In two places, a string constructed with strjoina is used as the pattern. This
is safe, because we're taking a pattern which was already marked with _printf_
and prepending a known value to it. Those places are marked with #pragma to
silence the warning.
Previously, libxkbcommon was a compile-time option. When enabled the localed
binary would strictly depend on it, thus pulling in libxkbcommon and its
dependencies, which are non-trivial in size.
With this change we dlopen() libxkbcommon when it is available instead. If the
library is available behaviour is as before. However, if it isn't the system is
considered "headless", i.e. without local hardware and all attempts to set the
local keyboard configuration will be refused.
This is useful for general-purpose distributions which want to support
"headless" (such as container systems) and "full" systems with the same build.
Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and --
operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator
consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.
gcc is confused by the common idiom of
return errno ? -errno : -ESOMETHING
and thinks a positive value may be returned. Replace this condition
with errno > 0 to help gcc and avoid many spurious warnings. I filed
a gcc rfe a long time ago, but it hard to say if it will ever be
implemented [1].
Both conventions were used in the codebase, this change makes things
more consistent. This is a follow up to bcb161b023.
