I wanted to add a config line that would empty a directory
without creating it if doesn't exist. Existing actions don't allow
this.
v2: properly add 'e' to needs_glob() and takes_ownership()
- do not suggest that vendor configuration files should be in
/etc, use /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d instead
- split the first example, because the text talked about "needing
two directories", but then a smack attribute was also set, and
on a different path, which looked like a typo. Replace that
with the example from original patch [1] which added 't'.
- fix the example for /var/tmp/abrt. The 'x' line was redundant,
because /var/tmp/abrt/* is already filtered because "d /var/tmp/abrt"
overrides "d /var/tmp".

It's not a good idea to create subvolumes for parts of the OS tree (such
as /home, or /var) if the root directory is not a subvolume too. We
shouldn't assume control of "heavier" objects such as subvolumes, if the
originating object (the root directory) is a "light-weight" object, i.e.
a plain directory.
Effectively this means that chroot() environments that are run on a
plain directory do not have to deal with problems around systemd
creating subvolumes that cannot be removed with a simple "rm" anymore.
However, if the chroot manager creates a proper subvolume for such an
environment it will also get further subvolumes placed in there, under
the assumption that the manager understands the concept of subvolumes in
that case.
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.
* by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
could ship this.
* this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
we could ship with this patch.
* we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
probably question if it makes sense at all.
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions
like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup.
Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while
doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some
files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach.
This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220
The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html
This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of:
- Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount.
- Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc.
These will be handled separately by follow up patches.
Tested:
- With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate
directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly.
- Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules
Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of
/usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist.
- Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.
Generally, we will not follow symlinks, except for "w".
Avoid documentation for now for fifo, device node, directory lines,
which currently follow symlinks but better shouldn't.
For ACLs to be valid, a set of entries for user, group, and other
must be always present. Always add those entries.
While at it, only add the mask ACL if it is actually required, i.e.
when at least on ACL for non-owner group or user exists.
For types which adapt existing files it is generally more useful to accept
globs.
In analogy to z and Z, add recursive versions using uppercase letters.
Technically, making a accept globs is backwards incompatible, but in
practice it probably isn't yet widely used and we can assume that most
people don't create files with wildcards in names.
Functions which are used as callbacks, but not directly on items, are
renamed not to have "item_" prefix.
The data structure used by tmpfiles is changed: instead of hashmaps
mapping {path → Item*} we now have hashmaps containing
{path -> ItemArray}, where ItemArray contains a pointer
to an array of Items.
For current code it doesn't matter much, but when we add new types it
is easier to simply add a new Item for a given path, then to coalesce
multiple lines into one Item.
In the future, this change will also make it possible to remember the
file and line where each Item originates, and use that in reporting
errors. Currently this is not possible, since each Item can be created
from multiple lines.
This patch makes it possible to set extended attributes on files created
by tmpfiles. This can be especially used to set SMACK security labels on
volatile files and directories.
It is done by adding new line of type "t". Such line should contain
attributes in Argument field, using following format:
name=value
All other fields are ignored.
If value contains spaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks.
User can also put quotation mark in value by escaping it with backslash.
Example:
D /var/run/cups - - - -
t /var/run/cups - - - - security.SMACK64=printing
Previously it would recursively copy the entire tree in, and descend
into subdirectories even if the destination already exists. Let's do
what the documentation says and not do that.
If files down the tree shall be copied too, they should get their own
"C" lines.
If two lines refer to paths that are suffix and prefix of each other,
then always process the prefix first, the suffix second. In all other
cases strictly process rules in the order they appear in the files.
This makes creating /var/run as symlink to /run a lot more fun, since it
is automatically created first.
"m" so far has been a non-globbing version of "z". Since this makes it
quite redundant, let's get rid of it. Remove "m" from the man pages,
beef up "z" docs instead, and make "m" nothing more than a compatibility
alias for "z".
Let's always call the security labels the same way:
SMACK: "Smack Label"
SELINUX: "SELinux Security Context"
And the low-level encapsulation is called "seclabel". Now let's hope we
stick to this vocabulary in future, too, and don't mix "label"s and
"security contexts" and so on wildly.
Various operations done by systemd-tmpfiles may only be safely done at
boot (e.g. removal of X lockfiles in /tmp, creation of /run/nologin).
Other operations may be done at any point in time (e.g. setting the
ownership on /{run,var}/log/journal). This distinction is largely
orthogonal to the type of operation.
A new switch --unsafe is added, and operations which should only be
executed during bootup are marked with an exclamation mark in the
configuration files. systemd-tmpfiles.service is modified to use this
switch, and guards are added so it is hard to re-start it by mistake.
If we install a new version of systemd, we actually want to enforce
some changes to tmpfiles configuration immediately. This should now be
possible to do safely, so distribution packages can be modified to
execute the "safe" subset at package installation time.
/run/nologin creation is split out into a separate service, to make it
easy to override.

Condition for /lib (necessary for split /usr) was missing from the unit.
Some changes which were done in tmpfiles.d(5) were not carried over to
systemd-tmpfiles(1).
Also use markup where possible.
