We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
This is an S/MIME signed message
The new function ima_setup() loads an IMA custom policy from a file in the
default location '/etc/ima/ima-policy', if present, and writes it to the
path 'ima/policy' in the security filesystem. This function is executed
at early stage in order to avoid that some file operations are not measured
by IMA and it is placed after the initialization of SELinux because IMA
needs the latter (or other security modules) to understand LSM-specific
rules. This feature is enabled by default and can be disabled by providing
the option '--disable-ima' to the configure script.

The text mode welcome message will only show the distro name stored
in /etc/os-release and no longer read any distro-specific files. If
/etc/os-release does not exist, 'Linux' will be printed.
When the source tree is is ./configure'd, only /etc-os-release is read
to guess the distro to build for. If /etc/os-release does not exist,
--with-distro= needs to be specified.
The way the various properties[] arrays are initialized is inefficient:
- only the .data members change at runtime, yet the whole arrays of
properties with all the fields are constructed on the stack one by
one by the code.
- there's duplication, eg. the properties of "org.freedesktop.systemd1.Unit"
are repeated in several unit types.
Fix it by moving the information about properties into static const
sections. Instead of storing the .data directly in the property, store
a constant offset from a run-time base.
The small arrays of struct BusBoundProperties bind together the constant
information with the right runtime information (the base pointer).
On my system the code shrinks by 60 KB, data increases by 10 KB.
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.
<mbiebl> kay, mezcalero: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627789
<mezcalero> so we can drop that entirely?
<mezcalero> kay: if you drop those two lines, does it improve things for you?
<mbiebl> kay: but ./configure should work now
<mbiebl> resp. autogen.sh
<kay> mezcalero, mbiebl: autogen.sh seems a lot better without the two lines
<kay> mezcalero: works without the 'touch' thing
<mezcalero> kay: ok, commit please
As in the bug[1] it would be nice to configure plymouth support
independently of the distro. This patch adds a "--enable-plymouth" and
"--disable-plymouth" option to the configure script to overwrite the
distro specific default.

This commit consists of the initial work to include Angstrom as a ported
distribution for systemd.
Angstrom tries to follow the debian way as much as possible, but deviates
where it doesn't make sense for 'embedded'.
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
