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.
gettys are nowadays mostly autospawned and hence usually subject to
being shut down on isolate requests, since they are no dependency of any
other unit. This is a bad idea if the user isolates between
multi-user.graphical and graphical.target, hence exclude them from the
isolation.
This has the effect that gettys no longer cleaned up when
emergency.target is isolated, which might actualy be considered a
feature, even though it is a change from previous behaviour...
Note that the one getty that really matters (the one on tty1) is still
removed when isolating to emergency.target since it conflicts with
emergency.service.
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.
Explicitly disconnect all clients from a VT when a getty starts/finishes
(requires TIOCVHANGUP, available in 2.6.29).
Explicitly deallocate getty VTs in order to flush scrollback buffer.
Explicitly reset terminals to a defined state before spawning getty.
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
TERM=vt100-nav was necessary for compat with some ppc hvc devices, a
long time ago. Unfortunately vt100-nav terminfo is not installed by
default on most distros, hence change the default to v100 which is
available universally and still should be a relatively safe and
conservative default.
Should it turn out that vt100 is not really the best choice we can
revert this change again and then ask distros to move vt100-nav into
their default install.
The property StopRetroactively= needs to be per-dependency, not
per-unit, in order to properly express dependencies between .mount units
and its .device and fsck .service units. If the .device unit is
unplugged the mount should go away, but if the fsck process terminates
the .mount should stay.
