Yi, All,

Thanks for this new iteration. :-)

I still have a few comments, see below.

On 2019-06-13 11:05 +0800, Yi Zheng spake thusly:

These lines should not be indented; I did indent them in my previous
reply just to make them stand out. "git send-email" would not have
indented those lines, if you had been able to use it (alas, you had
to use the gmail web UI to pass through the GFW).

We have other people from RPC, that seem to manage sending patches that
are correctly formatted. I wonder how they manage...

Because you did not send this with git send-mail, the TAB indentation
has been replaced by spaces.

You seemed to have missed in my previous review, that we also want an
explicit disable when the option is not set; see for example how it is
done for BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD_HWDB.

I have fixed the various issues pointed by Yann (formatting issues in
the commit log and Config.in file, missing "else" condition to
explicitly disable the option), and applied to master. Thanks!

Thanks a lot!
It is very hard for me to use gmail.
VPS linkage is not stable in China.

Thanks for your kindness to fixup that patch to fulfill the coding standards.

Unfortunately, this commit seems to break things for some users. We
have a bug report at https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12301.
Could you have a look ?

J?r?my, what do you think ?

[Buildroot] [PATCH] systemd: add option to enable systemd-journal-remote

[Jérémy ROSEN]

Hey all,
Ok, as usuall some background knowledge

systemd provides three binaries to deal with sending journal data over the
network

* systemd-journald-gateway : a tiny HTTP server that provides the logs
* systemd-journald-upload : a process to run periodically to push the logs
to a remote HTTP server
* systemd-journald-remote : aprocess to run on the remorse computer (not on
the target) to receive data and/or to fetch data from the target

All three options are selected together with -Dremote=true (which is the
default). It would be nice to be able to select them individually, but
upstream does not provide that option.

gatewayd is a bit more tricky because it will detect if libmicrohttpd is
available and only builds if it is.

So, as a fix I would make BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD_JOURNAL_GATEWAY depend
on BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD_JOURNAL_REMOTE
Also, fix default values to match previous behaviour

Cheers
Jeremy

But if all of gateway, upload and remote are always built together when
-Dremote=true, what is the point of having fine-grained options for
each of gateway, upload and remote ? Just to install/enable (or not)
the correspond service file ?

I kinda agree that having it optional is a bit overkill (except maybe for
gateway, because it pulls in libhttpd)

It's a choice we have to make.

[Buildroot] [PATCH] systemd: add option to enable systemd-journal-remote

[Michael Nosthoff]

Hi all,

sorry, I didn't have the original mail thread so I'm responding to the
initial patch from patchwork.

Since this issue is still unresolved I did have a second look and found
that the decision tree that systemd does for this options is even
trickier than everyone assumed.


As Jeremy already explained there are three binaries that depend on this
-Dremote switch.

What has been slighty incorrect is that not only
systemd-journal-gatewayd but also systemd-journal-remoted depend on
libmicrohttpd see [0].
For as systemd-journal-upload depends on libcurl [1].


Now for the really strange part:

systemd-journald-gateway and systemd-journald-remote are always built
together. There is no switch.
But there is some more logic to the -remote flag besides true and false.
If you don't specify its value is 'auto'.
And this is where [2] comes into play. It depends on the availability of
libcurl and/or libmicrohttp which of the 3 binaries is built.

-remote=auto && libcurl=y && libmicrohttpd=n? builds systemd-journal-upload
-remote=auto && libcurl=n && libmicrohttpd=y? builds
systemd-journal-gatewayd and systemd-journal-remoted

But if you specify -remote=true you are REQUIRED to have libcurl AND
libmicrohttp and all three binaries are build.

So this is pretty messy and I can think two ways of getting this at
least a bit more consistent.


The all or nothing solution could be something like this:

|config BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD_JOURNAL_REMOTE bool "journal events remote
tools" select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBMICROHTTPD |||select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCURL| help installs systemd-journal-gatewayd, |||systemd-journal-remote| and |||systemd-journal-upload|
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journal-gatewayd.service.html
|||https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journal-remote.service.html
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journal-upload.html||

which would set -Dremote=true -Dmicrohttpd=true -Dlibcurl=true

The other solution would be omitting the -remote= flag all together (defaulting it to auto) and steering the tool compilation via depending on -Dlibcurl=true and/or -Dlibmicrohttpd=true.
This would give the possibility to build systemd-journal-gatewayd and systemd-journal-remote without systemd-journal-upload and vice versa.
This would actually be the way it was before applying this patch but the descriptions were at least a bit misleading.

Also I'm not sure if the libcurl dependency might be needed for something else in systemd (at least importd also needs it).


I'm tending to the first (simpler) solution. Which is actually how it is
currently as you need to enable both Options now to get all three tools.
Else you get none.

I hope that wasn't to confusing. What do you think?

Regards,
Michael

I agree the first option you're proposing looks simpler. How big are
each of those tools? Unless one is really really big and unnecessary in
some scenarios, I think your proposed option is straightforward and
would solve the problem.

Thanks for the investigation!

# ls -la /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  25964 Oct 13 14:57
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-gatewayd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  46508 Oct 13 14:57
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-remote
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  34144 Oct 13 14:57
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-upload


So I would write this up in a patch and submit it. Trickiest part will
be the description I think.

Michael

In the context of systemd, these sizes are definitely in the noise
compared to everything else. So I'm fine with a single option that
would enable all 3 tools in one go.

Thanks!

10% in-line with that.

[HW]ell, I meant: 100 % (I don't know what 10 % would amount to, though).
