/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/...
or
/etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/...
(note, ../usr is not the same if /etc is a symlink, as this isn't
using canonicalize_file_name())
keep other method for now, consider dropping later.
Supporting relative links here are problematic as timezones in
/usr/share/zoneinfo are often themselves symlinks (and symlinks to
symlinks), so this implamentation only supports absolute symlinks
"/usr/share/zoneinfo/" and relative symlinks starting with
"../usr/share/zoneinfo/"
>From TODO (kay sievers):
* kill /etc/timezone handling entirely? What does it provide?
- /etc/localtime carries the same information already:
$ ls -l /etc/localtime; cat /etc/timezone
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 27 09:55 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
Europe/Berlin
- systemd enforces /usr to be available at bootup, so we can
enforce the use of the symlink
also a number of minor fixups and bug fixes: spelling, oom errors
that didn't print errors, not properly forwarding error codes,
few more consistency issues, et cetera
glibc/glib both use "out of memory" consistantly so maybe we should
consider that instead of this.
Eliminates one string out of a number of binaries. Also fixes extra newline
in udev/scsi_id
To be considered by timedated for NTP a package simply has to drop in
/usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/foobar.list and write one or more unit
names into it. The first one listed is the one that is enabled.
The previous systemd-timedated-ntp.target was suffering by the problem
that NTP implementations enabled via the machanism could not be disabled
the obvious way on the "systemctl disable" command line. Replace
systemd-timedated-ntp.target by a list of implementations we try in
turn. The list is encoded in $pkgdatadir/ntp-units.
We shouldn't hardcode the name of the NTP implementation in the
timedated mechanism, especially since Fedora currently switched from NTP
to chrony.
This patch introduces a new target that is enabled/disabled instead of
the actual NTP implementation. The various NTP implementations should
then add .wants/ symlinks to their services and BindTo back to the
target, so that their implementations are started/stopped jointly with
the target.

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.
The way the various properties[] arrays are initialized is inefficient:
- only the .data members change at runtime, yet the whole arrays of
properties with all the fields are constructed on the stack one by
one by the code.
- there's duplication, eg. the properties of "org.freedesktop.systemd1.Unit"
are repeated in several unit types.
Fix it by moving the information about properties into static const
sections. Instead of storing the .data directly in the property, store
a constant offset from a run-time base.
The small arrays of struct BusBoundProperties bind together the constant
information with the right runtime information (the base pointer).
On my system the code shrinks by 60 KB, data increases by 10 KB.
