Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 8b9f092112 man: fix issues reported by the manpage-l10n project
Fixes #25780.

Seems OK to me. The full stop is there and has been for at least a few years. And we use <option> for the markup, which is appropriate here.

Same.

Fixed.

Fixed.

This is a bit awkward, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

> Man page: kernel-install.8
> Issue:    methods a fallback → methods fallback

It was correct, but I added a comma to make the sense clearer.

> Man page: loader.conf.5
> Issue 1:  secure boot variables → Secure Boot variables
> Issue 2:  one → one for (multiple times)
>
> "Supported secure boot variables are one database for authorized images, one "

"one of" would sound strange. "One this and one that" is OK.

> Man page: loader.conf.5
> Issue:    systemd-boot → B<systemd-boot>(7)

Fixed.

> Man page: logind.conf.5
> Issue:    systemd-logind → B<systemd-logind>(8)

We use <filename>systemd-logind</> on subsequent references… I think that's good enough.

> Man page: nss-myhostname.8
> Issue:    B<getent> → B<getent>(1)

Fixed.

> Man page: nss-resolve.8
> Issue:    B<systemd-resolved> → B<systemd-resolved>(8)

The first reference does this, subsequent are shorter.

> Man page: os-release.5
> Issue:    Portable Services → Portable Services Documentation?

Updated.

> Man page: pam_systemd_home.8
> Issue:    auth and account use "reason", while session and password do not?

Reworded.

> Man page: portablectl.1
> Issue:    In systemd-portabled.service(8): Portable Services Documentation

Updated.

> Man page: repart.d.5
> Issue:    The partition → the partition

Fixed.

> Man page: repart.d.5
> Issue:    B<systemd-repart> → B<systemd-repart>(8)

The first reference does this. I also change this one, because it's pretty far down in the text.

> Man page: systemd.1
> Issue:    kernel command line twice?
>
> "Takes a boolean argument\\&. If false disables importing credentials from "
> "the kernel command line, qemu_fw_cfg subsystem or the kernel command line\\&."

Apparently this was fixed already.

> Man page: systemd-boot.7
> Issue:    enrollement → enrollment

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-cryptenroll.1
> Issue:    multiple cases: any specified → the specified

Reworded.

> Man page: systemd-cryptenroll.1
> Issue:    If this this → If this

Fixed tree-wide.

> Man page: systemd-cryptsetup-generator.8
> Issue:    and the initrd → and in the initrd

"Is honoured by the initrd" is OK, because we often speak about the initrd as a single unit. But in the same paragraph we also used "in the initrd", which makes the other use look sloppy. I changed it to "in the initrd" everywhere in that file.

> Man page: systemd.directives.7
> Issue:    Why are these two quoted (but not others)?
>
> "B<\\*(Aqh\\*(Aq>"
>
> B<\\*(Aqs\\*(Aq>"
>
> "B<\\*(Aqy\\*(Aq>"

This is autogenerated from files… We use slightly different markup in different files, and it's just too hard to make it consistent. We gave up on this.

> Man page: systemd.exec.5
> Issue 1:  B<at>(1p) → B<at>(1)
> Issue 2:  B<crontab>(1p) → B<crontab>(1)

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd.exec.5
> Issue:    B<select()> → B<select>(2)

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd.exec.5
> Issue:   qemu → B<qemu>(1)

The man page doesn't seem to be in any of the canonical places on the web.
I added a link to online docs.

> Man page: systemd.exec.5
> Issue:    variable → variables

Seems to be fixed already.

> Man page: systemd-integritysetup-generator.8
> Issue:    systemd-integritysetup-generator → B<systemd-integritysetup-generator>

I changed <filename> to <command>.

> Man page: systemd-integritysetup-generator.8
> Issue:    superfluous comma at the end

Already fixed.

> Man page: systemd-measure.1
> Issue:    (see B<--pcr-bank=>) below → (see B<--pcr-bank=> below)

Reworded.

> Man page: systemd-measure.1
> Issue:    =PATH> → =>I<PATH>

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-measure.1.po
> Issue:    B<--bank=DIGEST> → B<--bank=>I<DIGEST>

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd.netdev.5
> Issue:    os the → on the

Appears to have been fixed already.

> Man page: systemd.netdev.5
> Issue:    Onboard → On-board (as in previous string)

Updated.

> Man page: systemd.network.5
> Issue:    B<systemd-networkd> -> B<systemd-networkd>(8)

First reference does this, subsequent do not.

> Man page: systemd.network.5
> Issue:    B<netlabelctl> → B<netlabelctl>(8)

First reference does this, subsequent do not.

> Man page: systemd.network.5
> Issue:    Missing verb (aquired? configured?) in the half sentence starting with "or by a "

I dropped the comma.

> Man page: systemd-nspawn.1
> Issue:    All host users outside of that range → All other host users

Reworded.

> # FIXME no effect → no effect\\&.
> #. type: Plain text
> #: archlinux debian-unstable fedora-rawhide mageia-cauldron opensuse-tumbleweed
> msgid ""
> "Whichever ID mapping option is used, the same mapping will be used for users "
> "and groups IDs\\&. If B<rootidmap> is used, the group owning the bind "
> "mounted directory will have no effect"

A period is added. Not sure if there's some other issue.

> Man page: systemd-oomd.service.8
> Issue:    B<systemd> → B<systemd>(1)

Done.

> Man page: systemd.path.5
> Issue 1:  B<systemd.exec>(1) → B<systemd.exec>(5)
> Issue 2:  This section does not (yet?) exist

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-pcrphase.service.8
> Issue 1:  indicate phases into TPM2 PCR 11 ??
> Issue 2: Colon at the end of the paragraph?

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-pcrphase.service.8
> Issue:    final boot phase → final shutdown phase?

Updated.

> Man page: systemd-pcrphase.service.8
> Issue:    for the the → for the

Fixed tree-wide.

> Man page: systemd-portabled.service.8
> Issue:    In systemd-portabled.service(8): Portable Services Documentation

Updated.

> Man page: systemd-pstore.service.8
> Issue:    Here and the following paragraphs: . → \\&. // Upstream: What does this comment mean? // You normally write \\&. for a full dot (full stop etc.); here you write only "." (i.e. a plain dot).

Looks all OK to me.

> Man page: systemd.resource-control.5
> Issue:    Missing closing bracket after link to Control Groups version 1

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-sysext.8
> Issue:    In systemd-portabled.service(8): Portable Services Documentation

Updated.

> Man page: systemd.timer.5
> Issue 1:  B<systemd.exec>(1) → B<systemd.exec>(5)
> Issue 2:  This section does not (yet?) exist

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd.unit.5
> Issue:    that is → that are

Fixed.

> Man page: systemd-veritysetup-generator.8
> Issue:    systemd-veritysetup-generator → B<systemd-veritysetup-generator>
>
 > "systemd-veritysetup-generator implements B<systemd.generator>(7)\\&."

Updated.

> Man page: systemd-volatile-root.service.8
> Issue:    initrdyes → Initrd

Fixed.

> Man page: sysupdate.d.5
> Issue:    : → \\&. (As above in TRANSFER)

Updated.

> Man page: sysupdate.d.5
> Issue:    some → certain

Updated.

> Man page: sysupdate.d.5
> Issue 1:  i\\&.e\\& → I\\&.e\\&

Fixed.

> Issue 2:  the image → the system

"image" seems correct.

> Man page: tmpfiles.d.5
> Issue:    systemd-tmpfiles → B<systemd-tmpfiles>(8)

Updated.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>nss-myhostname</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), primarily providing hostname resolution for the locally configured
system hostname as returned by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gethostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The precise
hostnames resolved by this module are:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The local, configured hostname is resolved to
all locally configured IP addresses ordered by their scope, or
— if none are configured — the IPv4 address 127.0.0.2 (which
is on the local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 (which is the
local host).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The hostnames <literal>localhost</literal> and
<literal>localhost.localdomain</literal> (as well as any hostname
ending in <literal>.localhost</literal> or <literal>.localhost.localdomain</literal>)
are resolved to the IP addresses 127.0.0.1 and ::1.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The hostname <literal>_gateway</literal> is
resolved to all current default routing gateway addresses,
ordered by their metric. This assigns a stable hostname to the
current gateway, useful for referencing it independently of the
current network configuration state.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The hostname <literal>_outbound</literal> is resolved to the local IPv4 and IPv6
addresses that are most likely used for communication with other hosts. This is determined by
requesting a routing decision to the configured default gateways from the kernel and then using the
local IP addresses selected by this decision. This hostname is only available if there is at least one
local default gateway configured. This assigns a stable hostname to the local outbound IP addresses,
useful for referencing them independently of the current network configuration state.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Various software relies on an always-resolvable local
hostname. When using dynamic hostnames, this is traditionally
achieved by patching <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> at the same
time as changing the hostname. This is problematic since it
requires a writable <filename>/etc/</filename> file system and is
fragile because the file might be edited by the administrator at
the same time. With <command>nss-myhostname</command> enabled,
changing <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> is unnecessary, and on
many systems, the file becomes entirely optional.</para>
<para>To activate the NSS modules, add <literal>myhostname</literal> to the line starting with
<literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
<para>It is recommended to place <literal>myhostname</literal> after <literal>file</literal> and before <literal>dns</literal>.
This resolves well-known hostnames like <literal>localhost</literal>
and the machine hostnames locally. It is consistent with the behaviour
of <command>nss-resolve</command>, and still allows overriding via
<filename>/etc/hosts</filename>.</para>
<para>Please keep in mind that <command>nss-myhostname</command> (and <command>nss-resolve</command>) also resolve
in the other direction — from locally attached IP addresses to
hostnames. If you rely on that lookup being provided by DNS, you might
want to order things differently.
