Introduce /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install [--root=] <action> <name>
abstraction, replacing the direct calling of chkconfig. This allows
distributions to call their specific tools like update-rc.d without patching
systemd.
Ship systemd-sysv-install.SKELETON as an example for packagers how to implement
this.
Drop the --enable-chkconfig configure option.
Document this in README and point to it in NEWS.
Introduce a new optional dependency on libxkbcommon for systemd-localed.
Whenever the x11 keymap settings are changed, use libxkbcommon to compile
the keymap. If the compilation fails, print a warning so users will get
notified.
On compilation failure, we still update the keymap settings for now. This
patch just introduces the xkbcommon infrastructure to have keymap
validation in place. We can later decide if/how we want to enforce this.
The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower
priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter.
This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable
names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and
protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard.
I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered
when it was removed.
While GNOME/KDE are generally capitalized, systemd tools generally are
not, hence let's not start doing so in the XDG_CURRENT_SESSION
environment variable.
The system start timeout as previously implemented would get confused by
long-running services that are included in the initial system startup
transaction for example by being cron-job-like long-running services
triggered immediately at boot. Such long-running jobs would be subject
to the default 15min timeout, esily triggering it.
Hence, remove this again. In a subsequent commit, introduce per-target
job timeouts instead, that allow us to control these timeouts more
finegrained.
Quoting from Jon Corbet's report of Stephen Hemminger's talk at Linux
Plumbers Conference 2014 (https://lwn.net/Articles/616241/):
[...] So Stephen encouraged everybody to run a command like:
sysctl -w net.core.default_qdisc=fq_codel
That will cause fq_codel to be used for all future connections
[Qdiscs apply to interfaces, not connections. Pointed out by TomH
in the article comments. -- mschmidt] (up to the next reboot).
Unfortunately, the default queuing discipline cannot be changed,
since it will certainly disturb some user's workload somewhere.
Let's have the recommended default in systemd.

systemd-evcat and systemd-modeset are not installed systemd wide and
should really just be used by developers to test the libsystemd-terminal
features. No reason to mention it in NEWS.. despite the undulating
rainbows..
