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.
%h is a special specifier because we look at $HOME (unless running suid, but
let's say that this case does not apply to tmpfiles, since the code is
completely unready to be run suid). For all other specifiers we query the user
db and use those values directly. I'm not sure if this exception is good, but
let's just "document" status quo for now. If this is changes, it should be in
a separate PR.
It's failing on artful s390x and i386:

-------
Let's skip the test for now until this is resolved properly on the autopkgtest
side.
sd_path_home() returns ENXIO when a variable (such as $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) is not
defined. Previously we used ENOKEY for unresolvable specifiers. To avoid having
two codes, or translating ENXIO to ENOKEY, I replaced ENOKEY use with ENXIO.
v2:
- use sd_path_home and change to ENXIO everywhere
The code intentionally ignored unknown specifiers, treating them as text. This
needs to change because otherwise we can never add a new specifier in a backwards
compatible way. So just treat an unknown (potential) specifier as an error.
In principle this is a break of backwards compatibility, but the previous
behaviour was pretty much useless, since the expanded value could change every
time we add new specifiers, which we do all the time.
As a compromise for backwards compatibility, only fail on alphanumerical
characters. This should cover the most cases where an unescaped percent
character is used, like size=5% and such, which behave the same as before with
this patch. OTOH, this means that we will not be able to use non-alphanumerical
specifiers without breaking backwards compatibility again. I think that's an
acceptable compromise.
v2:
- add NEWS entry
v3:
- only fail on alphanumerical
In this way, individual errors in files can be treated differently than a
failure of the whole service.
A test is added to check that the expected value is returned.
Some parts are commented out, because it is not. This will be fixed in
a subsequent commit.
