Porting systemd To New Distributions
|
||||
|
||||
You need to make the follow changes to adapt systemd to your
|
||||
distribution:
|
||||
|
||||
0) Make your distribution recognized via the autoconf checks
|
||||
in configure.ac. Grep for the word "fedora" (case
|
||||
insensitively) and you should be able to find the places where
|
||||
you need to add/change things.
|
||||
|
||||
1) Patch src/hostname-setup.c so that systemd knows where to
|
||||
read your host name from.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Check the unit files in units/ if they match your
|
||||
distribution. Most likely you will have to make additions to
|
||||
units/*.m4 and create a copy of units/fedora/ with changes for
|
||||
your distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
3) Adjust Makefile.am to register the unit files you added in
|
||||
step 2. Also you might need to update the m4 invocation in
|
||||
Makefile.am. Grep for the word "fedora" (case insensitively)
|
||||
and you should be able to find the places where you need to
|
||||
add/change things.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Try it out.
|
||||
|
||||
CONTRIBUTING UPSTREAM:
|
||||
|
||||
We are interested in merging your changes upstream, if they
|
||||
are for a big, and well-known distribution. Unfortunately we
|
||||
don't have the time and resources to maintain
|
||||
distribution-specific patches for all distributions on the
|
||||
planet, hence please do not send us patches that adds systemd
|
||||
support to non-mainstream or niche distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you for understanding.
