This is useful if your keyfile is a block device, and you want to
use a specific part of it, such as an area between the MBR and the
first partition.
This feature is documented in the Arch wiki[0], and has been supported
by the Arch initscripts, so would be nice to get this into systemd.
This requires libcryptsetup >= 1.4.2 (released 12.4.2012).

The MeeGo distribution is still a supported distribution, but
will probably not see an updated version of systemd anymore.
Most of the development is focussing on Tizen now, and the
generic support for building --with-distro=other is more than
adequate enough.
This patch removes the support as a custom configuration build
target in systemd. People who are still building this for
the MeeGo distribution should build as "other" distro.
To be considered by timedated for NTP a package simply has to drop in
/usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d/foobar.list and write one or more unit
names into it. The first one listed is the one that is enabled.
This naming convention is more inline with other systemd daemon
unit names (systemd-logind.service, systemd-localed.service etc)
The companion .socket units have also been renamed, however the
-trigger and -settle units keep their current name as these are
not directly related to daemon process itself.
<falconindy> kay: just curious -- it looks like nodes created by udev from
modules.devname all have 000 perms, and there's nothing in udev that attempts
to change this. is it intended?

<kay> falconindy: we might miss the default of 0600
<falconindy> seems like it
<kay> falconindy: stuff that has a rule works i guess
<kay> falconindy: i'll add the 0600 now
sd_notify() should work for daemons that chroot() as part of their
initilization, hence it's a good idea to use an abstract namespace
socket which is not affected by chroot.
The previous systemd-timedated-ntp.target was suffering by the problem
that NTP implementations enabled via the machanism could not be disabled
the obvious way on the "systemctl disable" command line. Replace
systemd-timedated-ntp.target by a list of implementations we try in
turn. The list is encoded in $pkgdatadir/ntp-units.
The filename parameter passed to mkdir can't contain anything but a
garbage value at this point. This was meant to be the full pathname to
the new udev DB, as the mkdir_parents() call before it won't create the
trailing child directory.
[replace mkdir_parents() + mkdir() with mkdir_p() -- kay]
