From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuriy Taraday Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2022 12:45:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] inherit systemd environment when calling generators. Systemd generators need access to the environment configured in stage-2-init.sh since it schedules fsck and mkfs executions based on being able to find an appropriate binary for the target filesystem. With this commit I am altering the systemd behaviour since upstream tries to gather environments with that they call "environment-generators" and then seems to pass that on to all the other executables that are being called from managers. --- src/core/manager.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/core/manager.c b/src/core/manager.c index 22cc5cc843..5dc7d4504f 100644 --- a/src/core/manager.c +++ b/src/core/manager.c @@ -3914,9 +3914,17 @@ static int build_generator_environment(Manager *m, char ***ret) { * adjust generated units to that.
