Recent meson versions include the directory name in the target name,
so there is no conflict for files with the same name in different
directories. But at least with meson-0.49.2 in buster we have conflict
with sysusers.d/systemd.conf.
This doesn't matter too much, but makes things a bit more consistent.
A minor advantage is that the file is not a configuration file for meson
anymore, so:
a) It is not built unless pulled in by another target. Since
we don't usually build man pages by default, this saves a tiny
amount of work.
b) When the .in file is updated, meson does not reconfigure everything,
but just rebuilds the dependent targets.
Now that the conversion is finished, time for benchmarking:
a full build with default settings (and -Dstandalonebinaries=true), yields
before this pull request: 1687 targets, 148.13s user 35.17s system 317% cpu 57.697 total
with the full pull request: 1714 targets, 143.07s user 27.87s system 314% cpu 54.369 total
The difference doesn't seem significant. Partial rebuilds might be faster as
mentioned before.
We had two big 'configuration_data' objects in meson config. (There are in fact
more. On is added in this series, and there's one for efi… But those others
have a handful variables only for specific purposes and don't matter). The two
sets are 'conf' and 'substs', and were inherited from the original autotools
system. In the past there was even a third set ('m4_defines'), but @yuwata
removed it in 348b44372f. And those two/three
systems had very similar data, but with different variable names, because of
historical reasons. They also used subtly different quoting (.set()
vs. .set10() vs. .set_quoted()), which was required because the templating
engines were not flexible enough. This meants we had more work when changing
things, and we needed to search for different variable names, etc.
With a more flexible templating engine we can do with just one
configuration_data object.
One stanza had "if install_sysconfdir_samples", while the other
"if install_sysconfdir", which looks like a mistake.
install_sysconfdir_samples is now used for both.
The naming of variables is very inconsistent. I tried to use more
modern style naming (UNDERSCORED_TITLE_CASE), but I didn't change existing
names too much. Only SYSTEM_DATA_UNIT_PATH is renamed to SYSTEM_DATA_UNIT_DIR
to match SYSTEM_CONFIG_UNIT_DIR.
I wanted to use jinja2 templating here too, but it's hard to get right:
custom_target() strips the executable bit by default (unlike configure_file
apparently). custom_target() has install_mode setting, but it was only added
in meson-0.47, so it can't be used while we support 0.46. And without the
executable bit the test is not invoked properly. For example, "root-unittests"
in the debian package calls test-* after installation, so the executable bit
there is necessary. It would be possible to adjust the file mode after the
fact, but it would make things more complicated.
So let's use the native meson substitutions here. We don't need anything more
fancy.
I want to stop using 'substs'. But in this case, configure_file() is nicer
than custom_target(), because it causes meson to immediately generate the
helpers after configuration, so it's possible to do
'meson build && build/man/man ...', without building anything first.
We only substitute one variable here, so let's use a custom configuration_data()
object.
m4 was hugely popular in the past, because autotools, automake, flex, bison and
many other things used it. But nowadays it much less popular, and might not even
be installed in the buildroot. (m4 is small, so it doesn't make a big difference.)
(FWIW, Fedora dropped make from the buildroot now,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_make_from_BuildRoot. I think it's
reasonable to assume that m4 will be dropped at some point too.)
The main reason to drop m4 is that the syntax is not very nice, and we should
minimize the number of different syntaxes that we use. We still have two
(configure_file() with @FOO@ and jinja2 templates with {{foo}} and the
pythonesque conditional expressions), but at least we don't need m4 (with
m4_dnl and `quotes').
Jinja2 inserts an empty line after the first macro body, which I don't know how
to get rid of. Only the first macro causes problems: the other ones don't have
conditional statements at the end and the issue does not occur. As a work-around
I moved ProtectHostname to the end of the first macro.
Output is identical, except for horizontal whitespace and change in position of
ProtectHostname.
HAVE_SMACK_RUN_LABEL was dropped back in 348b44372f,
so one line in etc.conf was not rendered as expected ;(
Checking if names are defined is paying for itself!
The comment talks about upstream development steps and doesn't make
sense for users. We used special '## ' syntax to strip it out during
build, but it got inadvertently reformatted as a normal comment
in 3982becc92.
We don't need two (and half) templating systems anymore, yay!
I'm keeping the changes minimal, to make the diff manageable. Some enhancements
due to a better templating system might be possible in the future.
For handling of '## ' — see the next commit.
m4 was nice in '85, but the syntax feels a bit dated. Since we use python for
meson, let's use a popular python templating engine to replace some m4 usage.
A little nicety is that typos are caught:

Previously, when link_new() fails, `link_unref()` was called, so,
`Manager::links` may become dirty.
This introduces `link_drop_or_unref()` and it will be called on
failure.
When after_configure() for a request fails, then the request is not
removed from the queue at that time, and the link enters to failed
state. After that, if the link is reconfigured or its carrier is lost,
then the request is dropped from the queue, and the message_counter is
decreased. However, the counter is already or will be also decreased
when the corresponding netlink reply is received.
So, the counter is decreased twice.
User managers always pass their environment on to their children.
Make that clear in the description of ManagerEnvironment= which
states that none of those args will get passed to child processes of
service managers.
In the change set 6c045a9998 the error
text for the old flag `--private-users-chown` was repurposed for the
new flag `--private-users-ownership=own` and while doing so the word
`may` was dropped leading to a grammatically incorrect error text.
