                <para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>
                is a service that is invoked as part of the first boot
                after the vendor operating system resources in
                <filename>/usr</filename> have been updated. This is
                useful to implement offline updates of
                <filename>/usr</filename> which might requires updates
                to <filename>/etc</filename> or
                <filename>/var</filename> on the following boot.</para>

                <para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>
                updates the file modification time (mtime) of the
                stamp files <filename>/etc/.updated</filename> and
                <filename>/var/.updated</filename> to the modification
                time of the <filename>/usr</filename> directory,
                unless the stamp files are already newer.</para>

                <para>Services that shall run after offline upgrades
                of <filename>/usr</filename> should order themselves
                before
                <filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>, and
                use the <varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname> (see
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
                condition to make sure to run when
                <filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>/var</filename>
                are older than <filename>/usr</filename> according to
                the modification times of the files described
                above. This requires that updates to
                <filename>/usr</filename> are always followed by an
                update of the modification time of
                <filename>/usr</filename>, for example by invoking
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>touch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                on it.</para>
