This also replaces the Fedora download example with another one from
Ubuntu, since Fedora's images these days no longer qualify as DDIs, they
have no distinctive partition type UUIDs set for multiple of their
partitions, hence the images cannot be booted. A bit sad. Let's provide
a command that just works in its place.
This new mode copies resources provided by the client, so that they
remain available for inspect/detach even if the original images are
deleted, but symlinks the profile as that is owned by the OS, so that
updates are automatically applied.
As I noticed a lot of missing information when trying to implement checking
for missing info. I reimplemented the version information script to be more
robust, and here is the result.
Follow up to ec07c3c80b
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.
The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.
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.

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

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

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

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

"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.

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.

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

Updated.
(s) is just ugly with a vibe of DOS. In most cases just using the normal plural
form is more natural and gramatically correct.
There are some log_debug() statements left, and texts in foreign licenses or
headers. Those are not touched on purpose.
Allows to skip check that ensures units must not be running.
I have a use case that would use reattach, except the orchestrator
is using a non-standard versioning scheme, so image matching cannot
work. As a workaround, need to be able to detach and then attach
manually, without stopping the units to avoid extended downtimes
and loss of FD store.
Add an --extension parameter to portablectl, and new DBUS methods
to attach/detach/reattach/inspect.
Allows to append separate images on top of the root directory (os-release
will be searched in there) and mount the images using an overlay-like
setup (unit files will be searched in there) using the new ExtensionImages
service option.
Add 'reattach' verb to portablectl, and corresponding DBUS interface
to systemd-portabled.
Takes the same parameters as 'attach', but it will do a 'detach' (and
it will refuse to proceed if it cannot be done) first, matching on
the unversioned prefix of the new image. Eg:
portablectl reattach /tmp/foo_2.raw
will cause foo_1.raw to be detached, and foo_2.raw to be attached.
The key difference with a manual 'detach old' plus 'attach new' is that
the running units are not disturbed until after the attach completed,
and if --now is passed they are then restarted.
A 'detach' is not allowed normally if the units are running.
By using a restart-after-deploy method, 'reattach' allows for minimal
interruption of service and also for features that only work on restart
(eg: file descriptor store) to work as intended.
The DBUS interface returns two lists: first the removals from the detach
that were not immediately re-added in the attach, so that the caller
can stop the relevant units, and then the list of additions that are
either new or updates, so that the caller can restart/enable the
relevant units. portablectl already implements this with the existing
--now/--enable switches.
If portablectl detach --now is used, there's a possible race condition
where the unit is not stopped in time before the detach is attempted,
which causes it to fail.
Add a DBUS call to block after starting/stopping if --now is passed,
and add a --no-block parameter to skip it optionally when starting,
since it is not necessary in that case for correct functioning.
Add shortcuts to enable and start, or disable and stop, portable
services with a single portablectl command.
Allow to pass a filter on detach, as it's necessary to call
GetImageMetadata to get the unit names associated with an image.
Fixes#10232
For executables which take a verb, we should list the verbs first, and
then options which modify those verbs second. The general layout of
the man page is from general description to specific details, usually
Overview, Commands, Options, Return Value, Examples, References.
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.
$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml
No need to waste space, and uniformity is good.
$ perl -i -0pe 's|\n+<!--\s*SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1..\s*-->|\n<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ -->|gms' man/*.xml
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.
Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.
$ perl -i -0pe 's/\s*<authorgroup>.*<.authorgroup>//gms' man/*xml
