[1/9] Generating version.h with a custom command
/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/tools/vcs-tag.sh: line 17: git: command not found
If git is not available, do not try to call it.
We now import the upstream tag in the debian repository, so
this explodes as it tries to walk all upstream commits. Use
--first-parent so that merges only get added via the merge
commit.
In the troff output, this doesn't seem to make any difference. But in the
html output, the whitespace is sometimes preserved, creating an additional
gap before the following content. Drop it everywhere to avoid this.
This is very similar to tools/fetch-distro.py. The idea is that we extend the
commit to update the mkosi hash with a git log --pretty=oneline output, so that
the reader can know what changes were actually included.
The motivation is that I'm always wondering what changed in mkosi when I see a
commit updating the hash, and it's nicer to have this information shown
directly in the commit.
The script does _not_ pull changes from upstream, on the assumption that the
person doing the commit always has a fresh checkout and that they tested with
that checkout.
When building packages of arbitrary commits of systemd-stable,
distributors might want to include a git sha of the exact commit
they're on. Let's extend vcs-tag a little to make this possible.
If we're on a commit matching a tag, don't generate a git sha at all.
If we're not on a commit matching a tag, generate a vcs tag as usually.
However, if we're not in developer mode, don't append a '^' if the tree
is dirty to accomodate package builds applying various patches to the
tree which shouldn't be considered as "dirty" edits.
Let's rename the tool to tools/fetch-distro. It's useful to be able to fetch
the distro directly. But when that functionality is added, the old name is
confusing.
Now --update/-u must be specified to update the commits.
--reference-if-able is used to speed up the clone of debian.
It saves about 75% of the download.
We want the exitrd image to be built with the latest systemd as well.
As the exitrd image is built as part of mkosi.images, and all subimages
are built before the main image, this implies the packages must be built
as a subimage in mkosi.images/ as well. So we introduce the build image and
move all logic related to building distribution packages there.
This also has the nice side effect of slimming down the main image as the
build dependencies are not installed into the main image anymore. It also
makes sure the packages are built in a "clean" chroot without any of the
other packages which we install in the main image available.
This file doesn't document features of systemd, but is more a of a
general description that generalizes/modernizes FHS. As such, the items
listed in it weren't "added" in systemd versions, they simply reflect
general concepts independent of any specific systemd version. hence
let's drop this misleading and confusing version info.
Or in other words, the man page currently claims under "/usr/": "Added
in version 215." – Which of course is rubbish, the directory existed
since time began.
This also rebreaks all paragaphs this touches.
No content changes.
The setting of systemd clock is important and deserves an accurate description,
see for example:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f38-to-f39-40-dnf-system-upgrade-can-fail-on-raspberry-pi/92403https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2242759
The meat of the description was in systemd-timesyncd.service(8), but
actually it's systemd that sets the clock. In particular, systemd-timesyncd
doesn't know anything about /usr/lib/clock-epoch, and since systemd sets
the clock to the epoch when initializing, systemd-timesyncd would only
get to advance the clock to the epoch under special circumstances.
Also, systemd-timesyncd is an optional component, so we can't even rely
on its man page being installed in all circumstances. The description needs
to be moved to systemd(1).
The description is updated to describe the changes that were made in
previous commits.
Unfortunately, git submodules break in all sorts of ways:
- Various github workflows (dependabot, github pages) try to do a shallow
clone of git submodules which does not work at all when the git repository
is hosted on pagure (https://pagure.io/pagure/issue/5453,
https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/9391).
- If the git forge hosting the git repository uses SHA256, then it breaks our
usage of it as a submodule as SHA256 repositories cannot be used as submodules
in SHA1 repositories (src.opensuse.org moved to SHA256 which broke our usage of
opensuse's systemd spec as a submodule).
- git submodules completely break usage of git worktrees.
- ...
Let's avoid all these issues by just doing our own home grown implementation of
git submodules. We lose the automatic dependabot updates this way but since dependabot
fails to run more often that not with submodules we don't really lose anything.
git rebase does not support a --recurse-submodules switch to automatically
check out the submodules at their registered commits during or after a rebase.
Instead, let's use the post-rewrite git hook to do this ourselves.
Also, this drops Weblate (again) and dependabot from the contributers list.
Moreover, this makes the contributers sorted by git command, rather
than sort command. Then, the authors are sorted by their first name, e.g.
- before
Xiaotian Wu, Yuri Chornoivan, Yu Watanabe, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek,
- after
Xiaotian Wu, Yu Watanabe, Yuri Chornoivan, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek,

lld-18 does the section setup differently than older versions. There is a bunch
of ordering chagnes, but it also inserts the following:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
...
9 .got 00000000 00000000000283c0 00000000000283c0 000283c0 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
10 .relro_padding 00000c40 00000000000283c0 00000000000283c0 000283c0 2**0
ALLOC
11 .data 00000024 00000000000293c0 00000000000293c0 000283c0 2**4
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
...
This causes a problem for us, because we try to map the .got to .rodata,
and the subsequent .data to .data, and round down the VMA to the nearest
page, which causes the PE sections to overlap.
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/66042 adds .relro_padding to make
sure that the RELRO segment is properly write protected and allocated. For our
binaries, the .got section is empty, so we can skip it safely, and the
.relro_padding section is not useful once .got has been dropped.
We don't expect .got sections, but they are apparently inserted on i386 and
aarch64 builds. Emit a warning until we figure out why they are there.
RuntimeError is documented as "Unspecified run-time error". It doesn't make
much sense for Python. (It originated in Java, where exceptions that can be
thrown by a function are declared in the function signature. All code calling
such a function must either explicitly catch all possible exception types, or
allow them to propagate by listing them in its own exception type list. This is
nice in theory, but in practice very annoying. Especially during development,
when the list of possible exception types is not finalized, we would end up
adding and removing exceptions to functions signatures all the time. Also for
code which is designed to call functions recursively, we would soon end up with
all functions declaring all possible exception types… To avoid this, people
would quite often do fake handling with a block that either prints and ignores
an exception, or has just a comment like "fix me later", or even nothing. This
often lead to people forgetting to adjust this later on and production code
containing such constructs. An escape hatch was opened with RuntimeException and
its subclasses, which do not need to be pre-declared. Various memory-related
exceptions were added as subclasses of RuntimeException. But later on, people
starting using this to not to have to declare all exception types everywhere.)
In Python, exceptions do no have to be pre-declared, and for code which just
encounters a failure, we should raise a specific exception type. The catch-all
class for unexpected input is ValueError.
For https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/31637:
BadSectionError: Section '.data' @0x28000 overlaps previous section @0x28000+0x300=@0x28300
Also, exception strings should not contain trailing periods, because they are
often embedded in sentences.
For tables which represent binary data structures, readability is greatly
enhanced if the part which shows field size and type is aligned. This follows
the usual style for tables in the rest of the systemd codebase.
Also, use the same style for functions: if the function signature is too long
to fit in one line, put each parameter on a separate line.
Also, for comprehension expressions, if they are split, use the usual Python
style.
Also, drop format annotations, since the code isn't automatically formatted
anymore, and automatic formatting is neither feasible nor a goal for the
systemd codebase.
version_h includes GIT_VERSION which only makes sense for C files
which aren't preprocessed by jinja2 so remove the argument.
The end result of this change is that the man pages are not recompiled
anymore every time GIT_VERSION changes.
Let's split off a new vcs-tag option from version-tag that configures whether
the current commit should be appended to the version tag. Doing this saves
us from having to fiddle around with generating git versions in packaging
specs and instead let's meson do it for us, even if we pass in a custom
version tag.
With this approach there's no more need for tools/meson-vcs-tag.sh so
we remove it.
This is inspired by one of our internal tests that does pretty much the
same thing. However, it is slightly more convoluted than I'd like it to
be, since I really don't want to duplicate the list of our units in
another place, so we need to, somehow, pass the list from the meson file
to the test script. I originally envisioned this to be a part of the
unit test suite, but this doesn't work for unit files with absolute
paths to binaries, as we'd have to install the build first (maybe using
a chroot would work?).
It doesn't check man pages (since they might not be installed on the
test machine) and also skip recursive dependencies (as that would trip
over issues in files that are not under our direct control), but it
should still cover typos and such.
There are currently two units for which the check had to be disabled -
syslog.socket, as the corresponding syslog.service might not be
installed, and rc-local.service as that's a compat API and the necessary
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file may not (and most likely won't be) present.
Let's make sure that versions generated by meson-vcs-tag.sh always
sort higher than official and stable releases. We achieve this by
immediately updating the meson version in meson.build after a new
release. To make sure this version always sorts lower than future
rcs, we suffix it with "~devel" which will sort lower than "~rcX".
The new release workflow is to update the version in meson.build
for each rc and the official release and to also update the version
number after a new release to the next development version.
The full version is exposed as PROJECT_VERSION_FULL and used where
it makes sense over PROJECT_VERSION.
We also switch to reading the version from a meson.version file in
the repo instead of hardcoding it in meson.build. This makes it
easier to access both inside and outside of the project.
The meson-vcs-tag.sh script is rewritten to query the version from
meson.version instead of passing it in via the command line. This
makes it easier to use outside of systemd since users don't have to
query the version themselves first.
tilde sorts lower in the version comparison spec:
https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/version_format_specification/
➜ systemd git:(strip) systemd-analyze compare-versions 249\~rc1 249
249\~rc1 < 249
➜ systemd git:(strip) systemd-analyze compare-versions 249-rc1 249
249-rc1 > 249
Also update tools/meson-vcs-tag.sh to use carets instead of hyphens
for the git part of the version as carets are allowed to be part of
a version by pacman while hyphens are not and both sort higher than
a version without the git part.
One of the three must always be specified, but they buried in a long list of
options in the output of --help. Make them more visible to draw the eye.
Also, drop "marked" from the description. It's supposed to mean "configured",
but it's a strange way to say that, and also it's generally obvious that the
program does what its configuration tells it to, and it's not going to remove
all files found on the system.
Since signals can take arguments, let's suffix them with () as we
already do with functions. To make sure we remain consistent, make the
`update-dbus-docs.py` script check & fix any occurrences where this is
not the case.
Resolves: #31002
bc6fdcbf5d switched its doctype to refentry, so the script started
picking it up and complaining that it's missing required stuff. Since
this file is only included from other man pages, let's skip it when
putting together a list of valid targets.
