* blkid: move cache to /run on new systemsKarel Zak2012-01-252-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Why? * read-only root * /etc is pretty bad place for caches * all is usually cached by udev in /dev/disk/by-* and libblkid is able to use these symlinks * boot persistent cache is attractive for very small subset of Linux machines (and they already need extra udev tunning otherwise udev will probe all block devices during boot) * the default is possible to override in /etc/blkid.conf The systems without /run directory will not be affected by this change.

* docs: add non-return function and if shorthand tipsSami Kerola2011-09-171-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Non-return functions should not be combined with `else' clause. The if shorthands `var = e ? t : f;' need to fit to single line, and if that does not look good use normal "if else" syntax. Both tips are mentioned in email bellow. http://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg05152.html Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi>
* build-sys: fixes to USAGE_* macrosSami Kerola2011-09-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The USAGE_BEGIN_TAIL is removed as unnecessary. In between command specific options and --help & --version USAGE_SEPARATOR is inserted. For now the separator is empty line. The USAGE_MAN_TAIL is changed to take an argument. Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi>

* docs: remove duplicated textSami Kerola2011-08-306-874/+4Star
| | | | | | | | | | Duplicate text is dealt by referring to license files. The `pg' command does not need separated license file because the source file has same text at top of it. http://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg05069.html Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi>
