All wiki pages that contain a deprecation banner
pointing to systemd.io or manpages are updated to
point to their replacements directly.
Helpful command for identification of available links:
git grep freedesktop.org/wiki | \
sed "s#.*\(https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki[^ $<'\\\")]*\)\(.*\)#\\1#" | \
sort | uniq
* Avoid traling slash as most links are defined without.
* Always use https:// protocol and www. subdomain
Allows for easier tree-wide linkvalidation
for our migration to systemd.io.
The interface, output, and exit status convention are all taken directly from
rpmdev-vercmp and dpkg --compare-versions. The implementation is different
though. See test-string-util for a list of known cases where we compare
strings incompatibly.
The idea is that this string comparison function will be declared as "the"
method to use for boot entry ordering in the specification and similar
uses. Thus it's nice to allow users to compare strings.
The methods published by the example have a reply in the signature, but
the code was not sending any, so the client gets stuck waiting for a
response that doesn't arrive. Echo back the input string.
Update the object path to follow what would be the canonical format.
Request a service name on the bus, so that the code can be dropped in a
service and it can be dbus-activatable. It also makes it easier to see
on busctl list.
In the documentation, using the term "managed" for both the RA flag and
the DHCPv6 mode is confusing because the mode is referred to as
"solicit" both in the official DHCPv6 documentation (see RFC 8415) and
in the WithoutRA option.
Furthermore, calling the other RA flag "other information" or "other
address configuration" is confusing because its official name is simply
"other configuration" (see RFC 4861 and RFC 5175) and it isn't used to
assign IP addresses.
Rewrite the documentation for DHCPv6Client and WithoutRA to make it
clear that getting the "managed" RA flag triggers the same kind of DHCP
request as WithoutRA=solicit, whereas getting the "other configuration"
RA flag triggers the same kind of DHCP request as
WithoutRA=information-request.
It doesn't really care about the hash value passed (which is processed
by systemd-veritysetup-generator), but it does care about the fact that
it is set (and mounts the DM nodes /dev/mapper/usr + /dev/mapper/root in
that case).
I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier, but of course, it
*has* to be this data.
(This replaces some German prose about Berlin, that i guess only very
few people will get. With the new blob I think we have a much broader
chance of delivering smiles.)
Let's merge the footnote with the overall explanation of where systemd
parses its options from and reword the section a bit to hopefully make
things a bit more clear.
The gist of the description is moved from systemd.resource-control
to systemd-oomd man page. Cross-references to OOMPolicy, memory.oom.group,
oomctl, ManagedOOMSwap and ManagedOOMMemoryPressure are added in all
places.
The descriptions are also more down-to-earth: instead of talking
about "taking action" let's just say "kill". We *might* add configuration
for different actions in the future, but we're not there yet, so let's
just describe what we do now.
We use authenticated encryption, and that deserves mention. This in
particular relevant as the fact they are authenticated makes the
credentials useful as initrd parameterization items.
This is supposed to be useful when generating credentials for immutable
initrd environments, where it is is relevant to support credentials even
on systems lacking a TPM2 chip.
With this, if `systemd-creds encrypt --with-key=auto-initrd` is used a
credential will be encrypted/signed with the TPM2 if it is available and
recognized by the firmware. Otherwise it will be encrypted/signed with
the fixed empty key, thus providing no confidentiality or authenticity.
The idea is that distributions use this mode to generically create
credentials that are as locked down as possible on the specific
platform.
