In other cases where multiple directories are searched for unit files,
the list of directories is described in the man page describing the
format. I think this makes sense too in case of systemd directories,
since the systemd(1) manpage already has an overview of many different
topics.
man rules were repeating the same information in too many places,
which was error prone. Those rules can be easily generated from .xml
files. For efficiency and because python is not a required dependency,
Makefile-man.am is only regenerated when requested with
make update-man-list
If no metadata in man/*.xml changed, this file should not change. So
only when a new man page or a new alias is added, this file should
show up in 'git diff'. The change should then be committed.
If the support for building from git without python was dropped, we
could drop Makefile-man.am from version control. This would also
increase the partial build time (since more stuff would be rebuild
whenever sources in man/*.xml would be modified), so it would probably
wouldn't be worth it.
Mukund Sivaraman pointed out that cryptsetup(5) mentions the "read-only"
option, while the code understands "readonly".
We could just fix the manpage, but for consistency in naming of
multi-word options it would be prettier to have "read-only". So let's
accept both spellings.

This allows one templated unit to refer to another templated unit
at installation time.
Examples:
> grep WantedBy ~/.config/systemd/user/mpop@.timer
WantedBy=services@%i.target
> srv disable mpop@iit.timer
rm '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/services@iit.target.wants/mpop@iit.timer'
> srv enable mpop@iit.timer
ln -s '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/mpop@.timer' '/home/alxchk/.config/systemd/user/services@iit.target.wants/mpop@iit.timer'

Archlinux has a similar tool to debbotstrap in the arch-install-scripts
package that will install to a specified directory. This is generally
used for installation, so the -d flag must be passed to tell it to
install to a non-mountpoint directory.
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline
options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all
untagged <varname> elements.
Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when
adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if
similarly named options exist elsewhere.
Type X will exclude path itself from clean-up. However, if the path is a
directory systemd-tmpfiles will clean-up its content.
In contrast to type x, where path is ignored completely, type X needs some
Age parameter. In order to determine Age parameter, we will look for config
entries of type d or D and pick the best match. Best match is either
exact match or longest prefix match.
Hi all,
while working on another bug, I discovered the "strange" way systemd is
parsing Environment= in .service and thought it was worth documenting
(because I don't expect people to find this syntax by themselves unless
they read the parsing code ;)
Be more verbose about using space in Environment field and not
using value of other variables
Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840260
[zj: expand and reformat the example a bit]
Due to the brokeness of much of the userspace audit code we cannot
really start too many systems without the audit caps set. To make nspawn
easier to use just add the audit caps by default.
To boot up containers successfully the kernel's auditing needs to be
turned off still (use "audit=0" on the kernel command line), but at
least no manual caps have to be passed anymore.
In the long run auditing will be fixed for containers and ve virtualized
properly at which time it should be safe to enable these caps anyway.
Variable definitions can be written on more than one line - if each ends
with a backslash, then is concatenated with a previous one. Only
backslash and unix end of line (\n) are treated as a continuation.
Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58083
[zj: squashed two patches together; cleaned up grammar; removed
comment about ignoring trailing backslash -- it is not ignored.]
Document continuation support in systemd.exec
systemctl list-dependencies lists all unit's dependecies and
recursively expands all subsidiary target units into a tree.
Primary purpose for this command is to show all units which are
enabled in specified target.
We no longer allow early-boot init scripts, however in late boot the
syslog socket and local mounts are established anyway, so let's simplify
our dep graph a bit.
If $syslog doesn't resolve to syslog.target anymore there's no reason to
keep syslog.target around anymore. Let's remove it.
Note that many 3rd party service unit files order themselves after
syslog.target. These will be dangling dependencies now, which should be
unproblematic, however.
New file output.h with output flags and modes.
--full parameter also for cgls and loginctl.
Include 'all' parameter in flags (show_cgroup_by_path, show_cgroup,
show_cgroup_and_extra, show_cgroup_and_extra_by_spec).
get_process_cmdline with max_length == 0 will not ellipsize output.
Replace LINE_MAX with 0 in some calls of get_process_cmdline.
[zj: Default to --full when under pager for clgs.
Drop '-f' since it wasn't documented and didn't actually work.
Reindent a bit.

Systemd should not introduce any new facilities. Distributions which still
need to support their non-standard/legacy facilities should add them as
patches to their packaging.
The following facilities are no longer recognized:
$x-display-manager
$mail-transfer-agent
$mail-transport-agent
$mail-transfer-agent
$smtp
$null
This target is no longer available:
mail-transfer-agent.target
This way we also get a man page. The output is not as polished.
I hope that it doesn't matter too much.
index.html is not generated now, the page is called
systemd.index.html. If necessary, an install hook should be added.
