The handling of the command name and other arguments is unified. This
simplifies things and should make them more predictable for users.
Incidentally, this makes ExecStart handling match the .desktop file
specification, apart for the requirment for an absolute path.

This pulls out the hwdb managment from udevadm into an independent tool.
The old code is left in place for backwards compatibility, and easy of
testing, but all documentation is dropped to encourage use of the new
tool instead.
Also, when booting up an ephemeral container of / use the system
hostname as default machine name.
This way specifiyng -M is unnecessary when booting up an ephemeral
container, while allowing any number of ephemeral containers to run from
the same tree.
This adds --template= to duplicate an OS tree as btrfs snpashot and run
it
This also adds --ephemeral or -x to create a snapshot of an OS tree and
boot that, removing it after exit.
Let's stick to generic sections that describe the general technology,
instead of specific per-object sections, unless we really have a reason
to do that otherwise.
Support timer options --on-active=, --on-boot=, --on-startup=,
--on-unit-active=, --on-unit-inactive=, --on-calendar=. Each options
corresponding with OnActiveSec=, OnBootSec=, OnStartupSec=,
OnUnitActiveSec=, OnUnitInactiveSec=, OnCalendar= of timer
respectively. And OnCalendar= and WakeSystem= supported by
--timer-property= option like --property= of systemd-run.
And if --unit= option and timer options are specified the command can
be omitted. In this case, systemd-run assumes the target service is
already loaded. And just try to generate transient timer unit only.
This patch makes it possible to set extended attributes on files created
by tmpfiles. This can be especially used to set SMACK security labels on
volatile files and directories.
It is done by adding new line of type "t". Such line should contain
attributes in Argument field, using following format:
name=value
All other fields are ignored.
If value contains spaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks.
User can also put quotation mark in value by escaping it with backslash.
Example:
D /var/run/cups - - - -
t /var/run/cups - - - - security.SMACK64=printing
This has been requested repeatedly, so let's give it a go. We explicitly do not allow matching
on names that have already been changed (from a previous udev run, or otherwise), and matching
on unpredictable names (ethX) is discouraged (but not currently disallowed).
We also currently allow:
[Match]
Name=veth0
[Link]
Name=my-name0
SomeOtherSetting=true
Which means that the link file will be applied the first time it is invoked, but
not on subsequent invocations, which may be surprising.
This patch add support to specify path cost of the
bridge port to be configured via conf file.
Exampe: conf
file: br.netdev
[NetDev]
Name=br-test
Kind=bridge
file: br.network
[Match]
Name=em1
[Network]
Bridge=br-test
[BridgePort]
Cost=332
bridge link
2: em1 state UP : <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master
br-test state disabled priority 32 cost 332
In man journald.conf, removes reference to XZ as sole form of
compression. See commit d89c8fdf48.
In man coredump.conf, clarifies that "Compression=" controls existence,
not type, of compression.
Several manpages contain duplicate text describing a standard set of .d
configuration directories, with the usual sorting, precedence,
overrides, and so on. Factor this common text out using XInclude before
proliferating it even further.
It helps editing units by either creating a drop-in file, like
/etc/systemd/system/my.service.d/override.conf, or by copying the
original unit from /usr/lib/systemd/ to /etc/systemd/ if the --full
option is specified.
It invokes an editor on temporary files related to the unit files and
if the editor exited successfully, then it renames the temporary files
to their original names (e.g. my.service or override.conf) and
daemon-reload is invoked.
If the temporary file is empty the modification is canceled.

In principle SysV stuff is only for compatibility, but we are stuck
with it for the forseeable future, so documentation might as well
be provided.

This makes it possible to drop in logind configuration snippets from a
package or other configuration management mechanism.
Add documentation to the header of /etc/logind.conf pointing the user at
/etc/logind.conf.d/*.conf.
Introduce a new helper, conf_parse_many, to parse configuration files in
a search path.
systemd stops adding automatic dependencies on swap.target to swap
units. If a dependency is required, it has to be added by unit
configuration. fstab-generator did that already, except that now it is
modified to create a Requires or Wants type dependency, depending on
whether nofail is specified in /etc/fstab. This makes .swap units
obey the nofail/noauto options more or less the same as .mount units.
Documentation is extended to clarify that, and to make
systemd.mount(5) and system.swap(5) more similar. The gist is not
changed, because current behaviour actually matches existing
documentation.

This makes udevadm trigger mirror udevadm info, except that multiple
device names can be specified. Instructions in 60-keyboard.hwdb should
now actually work.
udevadm(8) is updated, but it could use a bit more polishing.
