This patch adds support for the Mageia Linux distribution:
http://www.mageia.org/
Mageia is a fork of Mandriva although some divergence has already occured
and thus inclusion of these changes upstream allow us to (hopefully)
migrate more rapidly to the new standard approaches systemd offers.
Indeed, we already use the preferred mechanism of OS identification via
the /etc/os-release file rather than a distro specific variation.
This patch mostly mirrors the patch added previously for Mandriva
support. In addition to those original authors, this patch was mostly
written by Dexter Morgan with help from Colin Guthrie and Eugeni Dodonov.
KEYMAP are use to pass keymap configuration to initrd, but not to the
system itself. Since the initrd might get out of date we need to make
sure that changes made in userspace override the settings from the
cmdline, hence drpo any use of it all for these variables.
This commit consists of the initial work to include MeeGo as a ported
distribution for systemd.
The majority of the changes are small configuration additions to auto
tools, so that MeeGo is identified as a valid distribution option.
Some small deviations will be noticed between the configuration of MeeGo
and other distributions. As MeeGo is a distribution striving for
compliancy to support its near embedded attributes and target users,
there is less user configuration options available by default. Most
services will be enabled by systemd as part of the distribution
requirements, and as such most links and service files will be pre-setup
for the MeeGo distribution. As much of this is going to be done within
the MeeGo distribution packaging this is still noteworthy to mention, as
it explains why in systemd you will observe configuration differences
where the MeeGo distribution removes all links in the pkgsysconfdir for
instance. MeeGo will be user configurable if there is desire, but most
services will be enabled by the distribution as designated by the MeeGo
compliancy standards.
Other changes are in source to add such areas as meego-release defined
in utils, and hostname in hostname-setup, defining vconsole-setup,
localizations and rescue additions as needed.
As this is all ground work, MeeGo will continue to strive for complete
compatibility.
This merges several separate patches that I carry as part of
Mandriva systemd RPM. They touch those parts that are very
unlikely to be changed in near future and do not impose any
functionality change for systemd core. I also think it is
useful for troubleshooting to have real distribution name in
system logs, espicially when someone reports problem upstream.
The patch looks bigger than sum of replaced patches because
- previous patches were applied on top of distro=fedora, now
I need to add all those bits for distro=mandriva as well
- part of patch was done as spec file magic, but it seems more
logical to ship all these bits together
At least Mandriva offers configuring characters to toggle
keyboard layout independently from main keymap. This functions
much the same as XkbOptions for X11 and actually is configured
together. The patch adds support for additional keymap,
KEYMAP_TOGGLE, to /etc/vconsole.conf, that is intended to be
used for the same purpose.
This patch is a bit bigger than expected since Gentoo being
non-standard in some places.
1. it is installing binaries at /usr/bin instead of /bin.
2. it is using CamelCase names for consolefonts.
3. /etc/rc.conf:unicode=(yes|no) just forbids loadkeys and setfont
"-u" options, but do not disable the actual kernel default_utf8
from vt module.
