In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup. Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach. This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220 The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of: - Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount. - Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc. These will be handled separately by follow up patches. Tested: - With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly. - Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist. - Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-machine-id-commit.service</filename> is a
|
|
service responsible for committing any transient
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> file to a writable file
|
|
system. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information about this file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This service is started shortly after
|
|
<filename>local-fs.target</filename> if
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is an independent mount point
|
|
(probably a tmpfs one) and /etc is writable.
|
|
<command>systemd-machine-id-commit</command> will then write
|
|
current machine ID to disk and unmount the transient
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> file in a race-free manner to
|
|
ensure that file is always valid for other processes.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the traditional way to initialize the machine ID
|
|
in <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is to use
|
|
<command>systemd-machine-id-setup</command> by system installer
|
|
tools. You can also use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to initialize the machine ID on mounted (but not booted) system
|
|
images. The main use case for that service is
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> being an empty file at boot
|
|
and initrd chaining to systemd giving it a read only file system
|
|
that will be turned read-write later during the boot
|
|
process.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There is no consequence if that service fails other than a
|
|
newer machine-id will be generated during next system boot.
