It is not clear what "unprivileged user namespaces are available" means.
It could mean either that they are only usable, that is, enabled in the kernel,
or they have been enabled for the specific service. Referring to the
`PrivateUsers=` options makes it clear that the latter is meant.
Since the general generator logic was established in the rewrite in
07719a21b6425d378b36bb8d7f47ad5ec5296d28, generators would always write to /tmp
by default. I think this not a good default at all, because generators write a
bunch of files and would create a mess in /tmp. And for debugging, one
generally needs to remove all the files in the output directory, because
generators will complain in the output paths are already present. Thus the
approach of disabling console logging and writing many files to /tmp when
invoked with no arguments is not nice, so let's disallow operation with no
args.
But when debugging, one generally does not care about the separate output dirs
(most generators use only one). Thus the general pattern I use is something
like:
rm -rf /tmp/x && mkdir /tmp/x && build/some-generator /tmp/{x,x,x}
This commit allows only one directory to be specified and simplifies this to:
rm -rf /tmp/x && mkdir /tmp/x && build/some-generator /tmp/x
This is useful to use "f" or "w" to write arbitrary binary files to
disk, or files with newlines and similar (for example to provision SSH
host keys and similar).
This imports credentials also via SMBIOS' "OEM vendor string" section,
similar to the existing import logic from fw_cfg.
Functionality-wise this is very similar to the existing fw_cfg logic,
both of which are easily settable on the qemu command line.
Pros and cons of each:
SMBIOS OEM vendor strings:
- pro: fast, because memory mapped
- pro: somewhat VMM independent, at least in theory
- pro: qemu upstream sees this as the future
- pro: no additional kernel module needed
- con: strings only, thus binary data is base64 encoded
fw_cfg:
- pro: has been supported for longer in qemu
- pro: supports binary data
- con: slow, because IO port based
- con: only qemu
- con: requires qemu_fw_cfg.ko kernel module
- con: qemu upstream sees this as legacy
DefaultSmackProcessLabel tells systemd what label to assign to its child
process in case SmackProcessLabel is not set in the service file. By
default, when DefaultSmackProcessLabel is not set child processes inherit
label from systemd.
If DefaultSmackProcessLabel is set to "/" (which is an invalid character
for a SMACK label) the DEFAULT_SMACK_PROCESS_LABEL set during compilation
is ignored and systemd act as if the option was unset.
In the welcome line, use NAME= as the fallback for PRETTY_NAME=.
PRETTY_NAME= doesn't have to be set, but NAME= should.
Example output:

Welcome to Fedora Linux 37 (Rawhide Prerelease)!
[ !! ] This OS version (Fedora Linux 37 (Rawhide Prerelease)) is past its end-of-support date (1999-01-01)
Queued start job for default target graphical.target.
[ OK ] Created slice system-getty.slice.

We had a description in README, and an outdated list in the man page.
I think we should keep a reference-style list in the man page. The description
in README is more free-form.
I thought it would be nice to specify the last day of support, because I
thought it'd seem more natural. But in practice this doesn't work well, because
such a truncated timestamp is usually taken to mean midnight that starts the
given date. I.e. 2011-12-13 is a shorthand for 2011-12-13 00:00:00 and not
2011-12-13 23:59:59.999999999999. Let's instead specify that the given date is
the first unsupported day, which is meaningful for humans, and let the computer
treat it as midnight, which gives consistent interpratation.
When using --root=/--image= the binaries to install/update will be
picked from the directory/image. Add an option to let the caller
choose.
By default (auto) the image is tried first, and if nothing is found
then the host. The other options allow to strictly try the image
or host and ignore the other.
Fixes#21764.
I think is very simple, but flexible. The date may be set early, for distros
that have a fixed schedule, but it doesn't have to. So for example Debian could
push out an update that sets a few months before the release goes EOL. And
various tools, in particular graphical desktops, can start nagging people to
upgrade a few weeks before the date.
As discussed in the bug, we don't need granularity higher than a day. And this
means that we can use a simple human- and machine-readable format.
I was considering other names, e.g. something with "EOL", but I think that
"SUPPORT_END" is better because it doesn't imply that the machine will somehow
stop working. This is supposed to be an advisory, nothing more.
It's pretty hard to write tests without this. I started out by adding separate
variables for each of the files we read, but there's a bunch, and in practice
it's good enough to just override the directory.
Variables read by kernel-install and those exported by it were described
without any clear separation. So in particular it was pretty hard to answer
a question like "what variables can be set in install.conf". The in- and
out-variables are now split into two separate subsections.
