1 | Porting systemd To New Distributions |
| 2 | ||
| 1486dbe1 | 3 | HOWTO: |
| eb10a764 LP |
4 | You need to make the follow changes to adapt systemd to your |
| 5 | distribution: | |
| 6 | ||
| bc270841 LP |
7 | 1) Find the right configure parameters for: |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | --with-rootprefix= | |
| 10 | --with-sysvinit-path= | |
| dee4c244 | 11 | --with-sysvrcnd-path= |
| bc270841 LP |
12 | --with-rc-local-script-path-start= |
| 13 | --with-rc-local-script-path-stop= | |
| 14 | --with-kbd-loadkeys= | |
| 15 | --with-kbd-setfont= | |
| 16 | --with-tty-gid= | |
| 2ed3de9c | 17 | --with-ntp-servers= |

19 | 2) Try it out. Play around (as an ordinary user) with |
| 20 | '/usr/lib/systemd/systemd --test --system' for a test run | |
| 21 | of systemd without booting. This will read the unit files and | |
| 22 | print the initial transaction it would execute during boot-up. | |
| 23 | This will also inform you about ordering loops and suchlike | |

25 | NTP POOL: |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | By default, timesyncd uses the Google NTP servers | |
| 28 | time[1-4].google.com. They serve time that is not standards | |
| 29 | compliant, and can be up to .5s off. Google does not | |
| 30 | officially support these servers for the broader | |
| 31 | audience. Distributions and vendors really should not ship | |
| 32 | OSes or devices with these NTP servers configured. Instead, | |
| 33 | please register your own vendor pool at ntp.org and make it | |
| 34 | the built-in default by passing --with-ntp-servers= to | |
| 35 | configure. Registering vendor pools is free: | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | Again, if you ship your software or device with the default | |
| 40 | NTP servers, then you will get served wrong time, and will | |
| 41 | rely on services that might not be supported for long. | |

| eb10a764 | 43 | CONTRIBUTING UPSTREAM: |
| eb10a764 | 44 | |
| 45548321 | 45 | We generally do no longer accept distribution-specific |
| bc270841 | 46 | patches to systemd upstream. If you have to make changes to |
| 45548321 | 47 | systemd's source code to make it work on your distribution, |
| 19aadacf | 48 | unless your code is generic enough to be generally useful, we |
| bc270841 | 49 | are unlikely to merge it. Please always consider adopting the |
| 19aadacf JE |
50 | upstream defaults. If that is not possible, please maintain |
| 51 | the relevant patches downstream. | |
