As it turns out reboot() doesn't actually imply a file system sync, but
only a disk sync. Accordingly, readd explicit sync() invocations
immediately before we invoke reboot().
This is much less dramatic than it might sounds as we umount all
disks/read-only remount them anyway before going down.
I'm building systemd for an embedded system and we would prefer not having
to include the entire util-linux package just to get a libblkid whose
functionality we don't need.
The message catalog can be used to attach short help texts to log lines,
keyed by their MESSAGE_ID= fields. This is useful to help the
administrator understand the context and cause of a message, find
possible solutions and find further related documentation.
Since this is keyed off MESSAGE_ID= this will only work for native
journal messages.
The message catalog supports i18n, and is useful to augment english
language system messages with explanations in the local language.
This commit only includes short explanatory messages for a few example
message IDs, we'll add more complete documentation for the relevant
systemd messages later on.

If ListUnitFiles fails, or an OOM occurs, then dbus_message_unref()
will be called twice on "reply", causing systemd to crash. So remove
the call to dbus_message_unref(); it is unnecessary because of
the cleanup attribute on "reply".
[zj: modified to leave one dbus_message_unref() alone, per Colin
Walters' comment.]
A service that only sets the scheduling policy to round-robin
fails to be started. This is because the cpu_sched_priority is
initialized to 0 and is not adjusted when the policy is changed.
Clamp the cpu_sched_priority when the scheduler policy is set. Use
the current policy to validate the new priority.
Change the manual page to state that the given range only applies
to the real-time scheduling policies.
Add a testcase that verifies this change:
$ make test-sched-prio; ./test-sched-prio
[test/sched_idle_bad.service:6] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 1
[test/sched_rr_bad.service:7] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 0
[test/sched_rr_bad.service:8] CPU scheduling priority is out of range, ignoring: 100
Having unit(s) removed/not started, even if it solved the issue and allowed
to boot successfully, should still be considered an error, as something
clearly isn't right.
This patch elevates the log message from warning to error, and adds a status
message to make things more obvious.
The point is to allow the use of journald functions by other binaries.
Before, journald code was split into multiple files (journald-*.[ch]),
but all those files all required functions from journald.c. And
journald.c has its own main(). Now, it is possible to link against
those functions, e.g. from test binaries.
This constitutes a fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872638.
The patch does the following:
1. rename journald.h to journald-server.h and move corresponding code
to journald-server.c.
2. add journald-server.c and other journald-*.c parts to
libsystemd-journal-internal.
3. remove journald-syslog.c from test_journal_syslog_SOURCES, since
it is now contained in libsystemd-journal-internal.
There are no code changes, apart from the removal of a few static's,
to allow function calls between files.
Supports Python versions 2.6 through 3.3 (tested on 2.7 and 3.2).
See JournalHandler docstring for usage details.
[zj: - use send() instead of using sendv() directly
- do exception handling like in the logging module
- bumped min version to python2.6, since the module
does not work with python2.5 anyway ]
This is the usual setup, where pythonX.Y and pythonX.Y-config go
together. Using python-config with python3 will only lead to
confusion.
--libs is changed to --ldflags, since the latter also includes other
required flags like -L<dir>.
The tests for HAVE_PYTHON and HAVE_PYTHON_DEVEL are separated. It is
possible to have python development libraries installed without the
binary (or to want to build python modules without using python during
the build).
A line is added to the output, to show what flags will be used for
python.
Makes the output way nicer with shorter code. Also brings
systemd-analyze behaviour more in line with other systemd-programs.
Argparse is in Python since 2.6, and is available as a package for
previous versions, if someone is stuck with very old Python.
If a 'change' event is supposed to remove created symlinks, we create
a new device structure from the sysfs device and fill it with the list
of links, to compute the delta of the old and new list of links to apply.
If the device is already 'remove'd by the kernel though, udev fails to
create the device structure, so the links are not removed properly.

Use udev_device_new() instead of allowing udev_device_new_from_syspath()
to proceed without a sysfs device.
