So that building from an archive works even if intltool is not present.
The README file already mentioned that intltool should only be required
when building from git.
Tested: Built it from the distribution archive on a host without intltool.
$ ./configure --enable-polkit
$ make
Running "make dist" requires --enable-compat-libs since DIST_SOURCES will list
generated files such as libsystemd-daemon.c.
Tested:
$ ./configure && make && make dist
*** compat-libs must be enabled in order to make dist
make: *** [dist-check-compat-libs] Error 1
Running "make dist" requires Python support since some of the man page sources
(such as man/systemd.index.xml and man/systemd.directives.xml) are generated by
Python scripts, so break "make dist" and give an useful error message when
Python or the Python lxml module is not available.
Tested:
$ ./configure --without-python && make && make dist
*** python and python-lxml module must be installed and enabled in order to make dist
make: *** [dist-check-python] Error 1
Python support is pretty much essential to create man pages, so we should make
sure that distcheck will request it during configure.
Tested: Successfully ran "make distcheck" and confirmed --with-python was
present in the ./configure run inside the unpacked distribution directory.
File src/python-systemd/id128-constants.h is auto generated and its generation
does not require special tools, only sed. There is no point in bundling it in
the distribution archive, so let's mark it as nodist_ to have it excluded.
Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80006
Tested: Successfully ran "make dist" after ./configure --without-python.
The sysusers.d/systemd.conf configuration file was originally introduced in
commit 1b99214789, but it was not marked for cleanup. This caused distcheck
to complain about the file not being removed by distcleam.
Tested: Successfully ran "make distcheck" with this patchset.
It was incorrectly looking for a file in src/libsystemd-network/ when the file was actually deployed to src/systemd/ instead. This broke "make dist".
Tested: "make dist" works again after this patchset is applied.

Makefile.am had a reference to it but it none of the sources included it.
Tested: "make dist" works again after this patchset is applied.

debug-generator can mask specific units if they are specified on the
kernel command line with systemd.mask=.
debug-generator can pull in debug-shell.service is systemd.debug-shell
is passed on the kernel command line.
Create a structure describing a DHCPv6 lease. Add internal functions
for creating a new lease and accessing the server ID, preference and
IAID. Provide functions for clearing addresses and associated timers.
External users are initially given only the capabilities of
referencing and unreferencing the lease structure.
Verify the Solicit message created by the DHCPv6 client code.
Provide local variants for detect_vm(), detect_container() and
detect_virtualization() defined in virt.h. This makes the DHCPv6
library believe it is run in a container and does not try to request
interface information from udev for the non-existing interface index
used by the test case code.
Add option appending and parsing. DHCPv6 options are not aligned, thus
the option handling code must be able to handle options starting at
any byte boundary.
Add a test case for the basic option handling.
Feed a Router Advertisement to the code and expect proper events
each time. The sending part is ignored, as all of it is static code
in the real dhcp_network_icmp6_send_rs() function.
Provide functions to bind the ICMPv6 socket to the approriate interface
and set multicast sending and receiving according to RFC 3493, section
5.2. and RFC 3542, sections 3. and 3.3. Filter out all ICMPv6 messages
except Router Advertisements for the socket in question according to
RFC 3542, section 3.2.
Send Router Solicitations to the all routers multicast group as
described in RFC 4861, section 6. and act on the received Router
Advertisments according to section 6.3.7.
Implement a similar API for ICMPv6 handling as is done for DHCPv4 and
DHCPv6.
Introduce a new configuration file /etc/systemd/coredump.conf to
configure when to place coredumps in the journal and when on disk.
Since the coredumps are quite large, default to storing them only on
disk.
When an address is configured to be all zeroes, networkd will now
automatically find a locally unused network of the right size from a
list of pre-configured pools. Currently those pools are 10.0.0.0/8,
172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16 and fc00::/7, i.e. the network ranges for
private networks. They are compiled in, but should be configurable
eventually.
This allows applying the same configuration to a large number of
interfaces with each time a different IP range block, and management of
these IP ranges is fully automatic.
When allocating an address range from the pool it is made sure the range
is not used otherwise.
This is useful so that distros have something to base their own policy
of. It also useful to make sure that minimal installs always get useful
configuration in place.
With this in place RPMs can make sure that whatever they drop in is
immeidately applied, and not delayed until next reboot.
This also moves systemd-sysusers back to /usr/bin, since hardcoding the
path to /usr/lib in the macros would mean compatibility breaks in
future, should we turn sysusers into a command that is actually OK for
people to call directly. And given that that is quite likely to happen
(since it is useful to prepare images with its --root= switch), let's
just prepare for it.
In order to support offline updates to /usr, we need to be able to run
certain tasks on next boot-up to bring /etc and /var in line with the
updated /usr. Hence, let's devise a mechanism how we can detect whether
/etc or /var are not up-to-date with /usr anymore: we keep "touch
files" in /etc/.updated and /var/.updated that are mtime-compared with
/usr. This means:
Whenever the vendor OS tree in /usr is updated, and any services that
shall be executed at next boot shall be triggered, it is sufficient to
update the mtime of /usr itself. At next boot, if /etc/.updated and/or
/var/.updated is older than than /usr (or missing), we know we have to
run the update tools once. After that is completed we need to update the
mtime of these files to the one of /usr, to keep track that we made the
necessary updates, and won't repeat them on next reboot.
A subsequent commit adds a new ConditionNeedsUpdate= condition that
allows checking on boot whether /etc or /var are outdated and need
updating.
This is an early step to allow booting up with an empty /etc, with
automatic rebuilding of the necessary cache files or user databases
therein, as well as supporting later updates of /usr that then propagate
to /etc and /var again.
systemd-sysusers is a tool to reconstruct /etc/passwd and /etc/group
from static definition files that take a lot of inspiration from
tmpfiles snippets. These snippets should carry information about system
users only. To make sure it is not misused for normal users these
snippets only allow configuring UID and gecos field for each user, but
do not allow configuration of the home directory or shell, which is
necessary for real login users.
The purpose of this tool is to enable state-less systems that can
populate /etc with the minimal files necessary, solely from static data
in /usr. systemd-sysuser is additive only, and will never override
existing users.
This tool will create these files directly, and not via some user
database abtsraction layer. This is appropriate as this tool is supposed
to run really early at boot, and is only useful for creating system
users, and system users cannot be stored in remote databases anyway.
The tool is also useful to be invoked from RPM scriptlets, instead of
useradd. This allows moving from imperative user descriptions in RPM to
declarative descriptions.
The UID/GID for a user/group to be created can either be chosen dynamic,
or fixed, or be read from the owner of a file in the file system, in
order to support reconstructing the correct IDs for files that shall be
owned by them.
This also adds a minimal user definition file, that should be
sufficient for most basic systems. Distributions are expected to patch
these files and augment the contents, for example with fixed UIDs for
the users where that's necessary.
