The general approach of kernel-install was that each plugin would drop in some
files into the entry directory. But this doesn't scale well, because if we have
multiple initrd generators, or multiple initrds, each generator would need to
recreate the logic to put the generated files in the right place.
Also, effective cleanup is impossible if anything goes wrong on the way, so we
could end up with unused files in $BOOT.
So let's invert the process: plugins drop files into $KERNEL_INSTALL_STAGING_AREA,
and at the end 90-loaderentry.install DTRT with those files.
This allow new plugins like 50-mkosi-initrd.install to be significantly simpler.
Remove incorrect claim that C escapes (such as \t and \n) are recognized and that control characters are disallowed. Specify the allowed characters and escapes with single quotes, with double quotes, and without quotes.
Sometimes hardware vendor does not set DMI info correctly.
Already there is a way that the dbus properties can be overriden by
using hwdb. But that is not user friendly.
This adds two new fields in /etc/machine-info.
Closes#22207.
Currently, running "meson build" followed by "meson test -C build"
will result in many failed tests due to missing dependencies. This
commit adds the missing dependencies to make sure no tests fail.
Add a new setting that follows the same principle and implementation
as ExtensionImages, but using directories as sources.
It will be used to implement support for extending portable images
with directories, since portable services can already use a directory
as root.
Fixes#6308: people want to be able to link a unit file via 'systemctl enable'
from a git checkout or such and refer to other files in the same repo.
The new specifiers make that easy.
%y/%Y is used because other more obvious choices like %d/%D or %p/%P are
not available because at least on of the two letters is already used.
The new specifiers are only available in units. Technically it would be
trivial to add then in [Install] too, but I don't see how they could be
useful, so I didn't do that.
I added both %y and %Y because both were requested in the issue, and because I
think both could be useful, depending on the case. %Y to refer to other files
in the same repo, and %y in the case where a single repo has multiple unit files,
and e.g. each unit has some corresponding asset named after the unit file.
The idea is that when not set, we do whatever we did in the past. But
with a new setting of initrd_generator=mkosi-initrd, mkosi-initrd will
generate an initrd.
In particular, mention the contract the generator has with external
ExecCondition= binaries that may be provided by desktop environments.
But, also mention all the other relevant keys. In particular
X-systemd-skip= is important to be documented.
Strictly speaking, this breaks the backward compatibility, but I guess
in most cases people already sets Scope=link for such routes.
This behavior matches with how 'ip route' command adds such route by
default.

* sd-bus/man: document EBUSY error in bus_message_read
The EBUSY error can be returned from sd_bus_exit_container(), and, if
that happens, it will be propogated upwards towards bus_message_read. In
terms of documentation, this means that bus_message_read's man page
can't just include the error text for sd_bus_message_read_basic, as
reading basic types exclusively doesn't have the potential for this
error.
sd_bus_message_read_basic's error documentation isn't incorrect when
applied to sd_bus_message_read, it's just incomplete. While EBUSY is
documented in sd_bus_message_open_container.xml,
it's explanation is unique to the sd_bus_message_exit_container function
and makes for poor documentation of the general read API.
There are a few undesirable properties to how boot entries are
currently sorted.
First, it sorts by entry file name only, which may not correspond
to the title that is shown (for exmaple because it is prefixed by
machine-id). The file ending will also create unexpected ordering
("arch-lts.conf" would come before "arch.conf").
While the list is sorted alphabetically ascending, it is also
lower version/priority first, which is unintuitive. In particular,
a boot-counted entry that is bad (0 tries left) will be at the very
top.
Additionally, the Windows and Mac loaders should be sorted with
the rest of the loaders.
