This bumps the minimum required version of meson to 0.45 and
python to 3.5, as integer type option is supported since meson-0.45
and meson-0.45 requires python-3.5.
Back in 2012 the project was renamed, see the release notes for v 0.105
[https://cgit.freedesktop.org/polkit/tree/NEWS#n754]. Let's update our
documentation and comments to do the same. Referring to PolicyKit is confusing
to users because at the time the polkit api changed too, and we support the new
version. I updated NEWS too, since all the references to PolicyKit there were
added after the rename.
"PolicyKit" is unchanged in various URLs and method call names.
Configuration through environment variable is inconvenient with meson, because
they cannot be convieniently changed and/or are not preserved during
reconfiguration (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1503).
This adds -Dvalgrind=true/false, which has the advantage that it can be set
at any time with meson configure -Dvalgrind=... and ninja will rebuild targets
as necessary. Additional minor advantages are better consistency with the
options for hashmap debugging, and typo avoidance with '#if' instead of '#ifdef'.
`newinstance` (and `ptmxmode`) options of devpts are _not_ used by
PrivateDevices=. (/dev/pts is shared, similar to how /dev/shm and
/dev/mqueue are handled). It is used by nspawn containers though.
Also CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES was removed in 4.7-rc2
eedf265aa0
and no longer needs to be set, so make that clearer to avoid confusion.
This didn't work during the initial conversion to meson, but should now.
A sufficiently new polkit is also required, for the .its rules files.
Note that https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/docs/markdown/i18n-module.md
says that 'install' argument was added in meson 0.43.0. If this is accurate,
warnigs might be generated with older mesons. Fedora has 0.43.0 across the
board, but other distros probably don't, but I guess that a warning is
prefereable to having to update do latest meson.
The advantages are:
- one less dependency (intltool)
- using the generic implementation instead of our open-coded calls
- we don't need to use the fake "_" prefixes in XML
Replaces #1609, fixes#7300.
Fixes#4871.
The new libmount has two changes relevant for us:
- x-* options are propagated to /run/mount/utab and are visible through
libmount (fixes#4817).
- umount -c now really works (partially solves #6115).
Commit also mentions that when running under valgrind we actually don't
execve() systemd-shutdown. We have a comment about this in the code, but
being upfront about this change in behavior doesn't hurt.
This reverts commit 4f5e972279.
Building with gperf 3.0 works just fine; we had an autoconf check to
determine the correct data types, and this check was ported to meson.
Everything else just is annoying, hence let's list this among the
requirements we make on the kernel in order to minimize confusion
leading to #6184 and suchlike.
libidn2 2.0.0 supports IDNA2008, in contrast to libidn which supports IDNA2003.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1449145
From that bug report:
Internationalized domain names exist for quite some time (IDNA2003), although
the protocols describing them have evolved in an incompatible way (IDNA2008).
These incompatibilities will prevent applications written for IDNA2003 to
access certain problematic domain names defined with IDNA2008, e.g., faß.de is
translated to domain xn--fa-hia.de with IDNA2008, while in IDNA2003 it is
translated to fass.de domain. That not only causes incompatibility problems,
but may be used as an attack vector to redirect users to different web sites.
v2:
- keep libidn support
- require libidn2 >= 2.0.0
v3:
- keep dns_name_apply_idna caller dumb, and keep the #ifdefs inside of the
function.
- use both ±IDN and ±IDN2 in the version string
Compiling against the dm-ioctl.h header as provided by the Linux kernel
will embed the DM interface version number. Running an older kernel can
result in an error like this on shutdown:
Could not detach DM dm-11: ioctl mismatch, kernel(4.34.4), user(4.35.4)
Work around this by shipping a local copy of dm-ioctl.h. We need at
least the version from 3.13 for DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE [1], so bump the
requirements in README accordingly.

We should also mention this in NEWS before release. Suggested text:
> DBus policy files are now installed into /usr rather than /etc. Make sure
> your system has dbus = 1.9.18 running before upgrading to this version, or
> override the install path with --with-dbuspolicydir=
This commit rips out systemd-bootchart. It will be given a new home, outside
of the systemd repository. The code itself isn't actually specific to
systemd and can be used without systemd even, so let's put it somewhere
else.
As kdbus won't land in the anticipated way, the bus-proxy is not needed in
its current form. It can be resurrected at any time thanks to the history,
but for now, let's remove it from the sources. If we'll have a similar tool
in the future, it will look quite differently anyway.
Note that stdio-bridge is still available. It was restored from a version
prior to f252ff17, and refactored to make use of the current APIs.
Let's add an extra-safety net and change UID/GID to the "systemd-coredump" user when processing coredumps from system
user. For coredumps of normal users we keep the current logic of processing the coredumps from the user id the coredump
was created under.

util-linux 2.27.1 now entirely stops looking at /etc/mtab, so we don't need to
verify /etc/mtab during early boot any more. Later on, tmpfiles.d/etc.conf will
fix /etc/mtab anyway, so there's not even a point in warning about it.
Drop test_mtab() and bump the util-linux dependency to >= 2.17.1.
Fixes#1495
The current implementation directly monitor /proc/self/mountinfo and
/run/mount/utab files. It's really not optimal because utab file is
private libmount stuff without any official guaranteed semantic.
The libmount since v2.26 provides API to monitor mount kernel &
userspace changes and since v2.27 the monitor is usable for
non-root users too.
This patch replaces the current implementation with libmount based
solution.

We generally try to support 2y old kernels, which allows us bump the
minimal required version to 3.11 now.
Also, clarify that support for the unified cgroup hierarchy requires 4.2
or newer.
Introduce /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install [--root=] <action> <name>
abstraction, replacing the direct calling of chkconfig. This allows
distributions to call their specific tools like update-rc.d without patching
systemd.
Ship systemd-sysv-install.SKELETON as an example for packagers how to implement
this.
Drop the --enable-chkconfig configure option.
Document this in README and point to it in NEWS.
This patch simplify swapon usage in systemd. The command swapon(8)
since util-linux v2.26 supports "-o <list>". The idea is exactly the
same like for mount(8). The -o specifies options in fstab-compatible
way. For systemd it means that it does not have to care about things
like "discard" or another swapon specific options.
swapon -o <options-from-fstab>
For backward compatibility the code cares about "Priority:" swap unit
field (for a case when Priority: is set, but pri= in the Options: is
missing).
