Description

Use this instead: Environment="FOO=-foo 1" "BAR=a b c" We are not a shell and we treat all string lists the same: quotation marks enclose words, not part of words. It's a bit of a stretch to expect people to figure that out from the man page, and on the other hand, that syntax doesn't work in EnvironmentFile= files. The case I had was already solved - luckily the daemon had long --foo=bar options that I could use after banging my head against the wall with space separated ones for a while. Please save the time of other people who are migrating to systemd by documenting the exact syntax to use in Environment= and EnvironmentFile= (reopening and adjusting bug summary for that). And making the Environment= and EnvironmentFile= variable assignment syntaxes consistent would not hurt either. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Given that we will be only back porting important fixes for F15 at this point in time I'm moving this DOC against Rawhide so it does not get forgotten or lost in the EOL process. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
