DefaultSmackProcessLabel tells systemd what label to assign to its child
process in case SmackProcessLabel is not set in the service file. By
default, when DefaultSmackProcessLabel is not set child processes inherit
label from systemd.
If DefaultSmackProcessLabel is set to "/" (which is an invalid character
for a SMACK label) the DEFAULT_SMACK_PROCESS_LABEL set during compilation
is ignored and systemd act as if the option was unset.
In the welcome line, use NAME= as the fallback for PRETTY_NAME=.
PRETTY_NAME= doesn't have to be set, but NAME= should.
Example output:

Welcome to Fedora Linux 37 (Rawhide Prerelease)!
[ !! ] This OS version (Fedora Linux 37 (Rawhide Prerelease)) is past its end-of-support date (1999-01-01)
Queued start job for default target graphical.target.
[ OK ] Created slice system-getty.slice.

We had a description in README, and an outdated list in the man page.
I think we should keep a reference-style list in the man page. The description
in README is more free-form.
I thought it would be nice to specify the last day of support, because I
thought it'd seem more natural. But in practice this doesn't work well, because
such a truncated timestamp is usually taken to mean midnight that starts the
given date. I.e. 2011-12-13 is a shorthand for 2011-12-13 00:00:00 and not
2011-12-13 23:59:59.999999999999. Let's instead specify that the given date is
the first unsupported day, which is meaningful for humans, and let the computer
treat it as midnight, which gives consistent interpratation.
When using --root=/--image= the binaries to install/update will be
picked from the directory/image. Add an option to let the caller
choose.
By default (auto) the image is tried first, and if nothing is found
then the host. The other options allow to strictly try the image
or host and ignore the other.
Fixes#21764.
I think is very simple, but flexible. The date may be set early, for distros
that have a fixed schedule, but it doesn't have to. So for example Debian could
push out an update that sets a few months before the release goes EOL. And
various tools, in particular graphical desktops, can start nagging people to
upgrade a few weeks before the date.
As discussed in the bug, we don't need granularity higher than a day. And this
means that we can use a simple human- and machine-readable format.
I was considering other names, e.g. something with "EOL", but I think that
"SUPPORT_END" is better because it doesn't imply that the machine will somehow
stop working. This is supposed to be an advisory, nothing more.
It's pretty hard to write tests without this. I started out by adding separate
variables for each of the files we read, but there's a bunch, and in practice
it's good enough to just override the directory.
Variables read by kernel-install and those exported by it were described
without any clear separation. So in particular it was pretty hard to answer
a question like "what variables can be set in install.conf". The in- and
out-variables are now split into two separate subsections.
Same story as before: disabling a non-existent event source shouldn't
need to be guarded by an if. I retained the wrapper so that that we don't
have to say SD_EVENT_OFF in the many places where this is called.
This is a natural use case, and instead of defining a wrapper to do this
for us, let's just make this part of the API. Calling with NULL was not
allowed, so this is not a breaking change to the interface.
(After sd_event_source_is_enabled was originally added, we introduced
sd_event_source_disable_unref() and other similar functions which accept
NULL. So not accepting NULL here is likely to confuse people. Let's just
make the API usable with minimal fuss.)
In places the text was overly formal, e.g. "an 128-bit ID" was repeated, even
though it is clear from the context that we're talking about this type of ID.
OTOH, in other places the text was informal, e.g. "You can use …".
Also, "you may use f() to frob" → "f() frobs". The text without all the
flourishes is easier to read.
sd_id128_in_set_sentinel() was described only in passing when taking about
sd_id128_in_set(), now it gets is own brief paragraph.
The synopsis was missing.
Currently, the only way to set display name of a graphical session is to
pass it to CreateSession(). But modern display managers like gdm start
the display server as part of the user session, which means that the
display name isn't known yet when the session is being created. Hence,
let's make it possible to set it later.
