systemd-socket-activate has supported such a mode since
5e65c93a43. '--setenv=FOO=$FOO' is a fairly
common use in scripts, and it's nicer to do this automatically without worrying
about quoting and whatnot.
https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/pull/765 added the same to 'mkosi --environment='.

The 'Unit sysinit.target not found' error that we see here is due to recursive dependency searching during
unit loading and has been addressed in a different PR:

Example Run:
foobar.service created below is a service unit file that has a non-existing key-value
pairing (foo = bar) and is thus, syntactically invalid.

> [Unit]
> foo = bar

> [Service]

Previously, the "bootctl update" logic would refrain from downrgading a
boot loader, but if the boot loader that is installed already matched
the version we could install we'd install it anyway, under the
assumption this was effectively without effect. This behaviour was handy
while developing boot loaders, since installing a modified boot loader
didn't require a version bump.
However, outside of the systems of boot loader developers I don't think
this behaviour makes much sense: we should always emphasize doing
minimal changes to the ESP, hence when an update is supposedly not
necessary, then don't do it. Only update if it really makes sense, to
minimize writes to the ESP. Updating the boot loader is a good thing
after all, but doing so redundantly is not.
Also, downgrade the message about this to LOG_NOTICE, given this
shouldn't be a reason to log.
Finally, exit cleanly in this cases (or if another boot loader is
detected)
Before this patch, there was no way to request all running user instances for
reexecuting. However this can be useful especially during package updates
otherwise user instances are never updated and keep running a potentially very
old version of the binaries.
Now assuming that we have enough priviledge, it's possible to request
reexecution of all user instances:
systemctl kill --signal=SIGRTMIN+25 "user@*.service"
Note that this request is obviously asynchronous as it relies on a
signal. Keeping "systemctl kill" as the only interface should be good enough to
make this obvious and that's the reason why another interface, such as
"systemctl --global daemon-reexec" has not been considered.
PID1 already uses SIGTERM for reexecuting hence sending it SIGRTMIN+25 is a
nop.
The text used "unit's view" to mean mount namespace. But we talk about
mount namespaces in the later part of the paragraph anyway, so trying to
use an "approachable term" only makes the whole thing harder to understand.
Let's use the precise term.
Some paragraph-breaking and re-indentation is done too.
This undoes part of 4c890ad3cc: the
implementations of update-dbus-docs and update-man-rules are moved back to
man/meson.build, and alias_target() is used to keep the visible target names
unchanged.
The rules for man pages are reworked so that it's possible to invoke the
targets even if xstlproc is not available. After all, xsltproc is only needed
for the final formatted output, and not other processing.
There is some inconsistency, partially caused by the awkward naming
of the docs/ pages. But let's be consistent and use the "official" title.
If we ever change plural↔singular, we should use the same form everywhere.
nss-resolve also looks in /etc/hosts, and has the same local hostname
resolving logic as nss-myhostname. We shouldn't recommend another order
than nss-resolve uses internally.
When nss-resolve is used, there's no possibility to override
nss-myhostname hosts via DNS *anyway*.
On top of that, it's not a good idea to allow DNS to override local
hostnames as all - at least not something we should advertise in the
docs.
Followup of f918c67d38ba6ccd4eb0dc657f3f3155e5010cae /
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/16754.
Updated manpage for sd_bus_set_property and sd_bus_set_propertyv. In the old manpage, these functions included the parameter sd_bus_message **reply when the actual function had no such argument.
* Fixed typo
Before, the file claimed that some systemd units are created "from other
configuration". It should have read "from other configuration files".

This reverts commit cb0e818f7c.
After this was merged, some design and implementation issues were discovered,
see the discussion in #18782 and #19385. They certainly can be fixed, but so
far nobody has stepped up, and we're nearing a release. Hopefully, this feature
can be merged again after a rework.
Fixes#19345.
