From b72201257216f687bf3462ad7539612cccbbce75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Zbigniew=20J=C4=99drzejewski-Szmek?= Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 19:10:21 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Do not advertise .d snippets over main config file For daemons which have a main configuration file, there's little reason for the administrator to use configuration snippets. They are useful for packagers which need to override settings, but we shouldn't advertise that as the main way of configuring those services. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89397 (cherry picked from commit e93549ef29c4123d9ee45acb5815048390201e49) --- man/bootchart.conf.xml | 3 +-- man/coredump.conf.xml | 3 +-- man/journald.conf.xml | 3 +-- man/logind.conf.xml | 8 ++++--- man/resolved.conf.xml | 3 +-- man/standard-conf.xml | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- man/systemd-sleep.conf.xml | 3 +-- man/systemd-system.conf.xml | 3 +-- man/timesyncd.conf.xml | 3 +-- src/bootchart/bootchart.conf | 7 +++--- src/core/system.conf | 7 +++--- src/journal/coredump.conf | 7 +++--- src/journal/journald.conf | 7 +++--- src/login/logind.conf | 7 +++--- src/resolve/resolved.conf.in | 5 ++-- src/timesync/timesyncd.conf.in | 7 +++--- 16 files changed, 73 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/bootchart.conf.xml b/man/bootchart.conf.xml index 8d9700d300..bf6ca0bf9e 100644 --- a/man/bootchart.conf.xml +++ b/man/bootchart.conf.xml @@ -68,8 +68,7 @@ parameters and graph output. - - + Options diff --git a/man/coredump.conf.xml b/man/coredump.conf.xml index 3d325e6ad7..0b7329bf55 100644 --- a/man/coredump.conf.xml +++ b/man/coredump.conf.xml @@ -63,8 +63,7 @@ a handler for core dumps invoked by the kernel. - - + Options diff --git a/man/journald.conf.xml b/man/journald.conf.xml index 364b58f07e..85146b0d82 100644 --- a/man/journald.conf.xml +++ b/man/journald.conf.xml @@ -64,8 +64,7 @@ - - + Options diff --git a/man/logind.conf.xml b/man/logind.conf.xml index ffaec50351..ca2b18783c 100644 --- a/man/logind.conf.xml +++ b/man/logind.conf.xml @@ -58,11 +58,13 @@ Description - These files configure various parameters of the systemd login manager, systemd-logind.service8. + These files configure various parameters of the systemd + login manager, + systemd-logind.service8. + - - + Options diff --git a/man/resolved.conf.xml b/man/resolved.conf.xml index 36cae2706c..8047a4ea75 100644 --- a/man/resolved.conf.xml +++ b/man/resolved.conf.xml @@ -63,8 +63,7 @@ - - + Options diff --git a/man/standard-conf.xml b/man/standard-conf.xml index b87d7e955b..36af45927d 100644 --- a/man/standard-conf.xml +++ b/man/standard-conf.xml @@ -33,13 +33,39 @@ configuration file. - - Configuration File - - Configuration is also read from a single configuration file in - /etc/.
