57 <para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>
58 is a service that is invoked as part of the first boot
59 after the vendor operating system resources in
60 <filename>/usr</filename> have been updated. This is
61 useful to implement offline updates of
62 <filename>/usr</filename> which might requires updates
63 to <filename>/etc</filename> or
64 <filename>/var</filename> on the following boot.</para>
66 <para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>
67 updates the file modification time (mtime) of the
68 stamp files <filename>/etc/.updated</filename> and
69 <filename>/var/.updated</filename> to the modification
70 time of the <filename>/usr</filename> directory,
71 unless the stamp files are already newer.</para>
73 <para>Services that shall run after offline upgrades
74 of <filename>/usr</filename> should order themselves
76 <filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>, and
77 use the <varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname> (see
78 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
79 condition to make sure to run when
80 <filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>/var</filename>
81 are older than <filename>/usr</filename> according to
82 the modification times of the files described
83 above. This requires that updates to
84 <filename>/usr</filename> are always followed by an
85 update of the modification time of
86 <filename>/usr</filename>, for example by invoking
