Currently, if a unit file is enabled from outside of the search path,
and that unit has an alias, then the symlink ends up pointing outside of
the search path too. For example:
$ cat /tmp/a.service
[Service]
ExecStart=sleep infinity
[Install]
Alias=b.service
WantedBy=multi-user.target
$ systemctl enable /tmp/a.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/a.service → /tmp/a.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/b.service → /tmp/a.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/a.service → /tmp/a.service.
This then means the alias is treated as a separate unit:
$ systemctl start a.service
$ sudo systemctl status a
● a.service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/a.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Fri 2024-03-15 15:17:49 EDT; 9s ago
Main PID: 769593 (sleep)
Tasks: 1 (limit: 18898)

CGroup: /system.slice/a.service

Mar 15 15:17:49 six systemd[1]: Started a.service.
$ sudo systemctl status b
○ b.service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/b.service; alias)
Active: inactive (dead)
To fix this, make sure the alias uses a target that is inside the search
path. Since the unit file itself is outside of the search path, a
symlink inside the search path will have been created already. Hence,
just point the alias symlink to that recently created symlink.
In some cases when a query completes there are still pending
transactions that are no longer useful to answer the query. But if this
query is repeated in the future and we don't have the answers cached,
we're going to ask and ignore the answer again.
Instead of purging these superfluous transactions, let's wait and see if
they produce an answer, since we already asked the question, and use it
to fill our cache.
opensuse's OBS has two git mirrors, code.opensuse.org uses pagure,
src.opensuse.org uses gitea. Let's try src.opensuse.org as pagure
doesn't seem to work properly when more advanced git functionality
is used.
Currently the associated units fail if full tpm support is not available
on the system. Similar to systemd-pcrextend, let's add a --graceful option
that exits gracefully if no full TPM support is detected and use it in both
units.
The docs say that support is experimental, but it's better for us if we know
about any problems early.
Header tests pass without any issue with gcc-14.0.1-0.8.fc40.x86_64.
- mention the version format spec for sytsemd-vpick
- say what "systemd-creds --user" can be used by unprivileged users as well
- say what importctl does
- use en dash instead of em dash
- add a missing article
This also drop the support of /run/systemd/netif/persistent-storage-ready,
as the file is anyway removed when networkd is stopped.
Let's use $SYSTEMD_NETWORK_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_READY=1 instead on testing.
Useful information to have in the logs.

Previously, if an [Address] section is configured with a null address,
e.g. Address=0.0.0.0/24, then we acquired a free address in
link_request_address().
With this commit, we queue a request with the null address as is, and
acquire a free address later in address_process_request(). Similary,
now IPv4ACD daemon is configured in address_process_request().
With this change, we can make the address acquisition depend on other
conditions, e.g. if the persistent storage is ready or not.
