We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> uses the
|
|
configuration files from the above directories to describe the
|
|
creation, cleaning and removal of volatile and
|
|
temporary files and directories which usually reside
|
|
in directories such as <filename>/run</filename>
|
|
or <filename>/tmp</filename>.</para>

<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each configuration file is named in the style of
|
|
<filename><program>.conf</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename> override files with the
|
|
same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/run</filename> override files with the same
|
|
name in <filename>/etc/</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages should
|
|
install their configuration files in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
|
|
administrator, who may choose to override the
|
|
configurations installed from packages. The list of
|
|
configuration files are sorted by their filename in
|
|
alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
|
|
directories they reside, to guarantee that a
|
|
configuration file takes precedence over another
|
|
configuration file with an alphabetically later
|
|
name.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration format is one line per path
|
|
containing action, path, mode, ownership, age and argument
|
|
fields:</para>
