Description Bill Nottingham 2012-10-26 03:39:05 UTC

Description of problem:

For vconsole & locale-related paraemters, the preference order is:

1. distro-neutral file (/etc/vconsole.conf, etc.)
overridden by, if it exists:
2. distro-specific #ifdef'd file (/etc/sysconfig/i18n, etc.) 

For hostname, the preference order is:

1. distro-specific #ifdef'd file (/etc/sysconfig/network, etc.)
overridden by, if it exists:
2. distro-neutral file (/etc/hostname)

It likely should be consistent behavior.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd-37 through systemd-195

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. look at code

I guess this is obsolete now as we now convert all files from the old format to the new format anyway via postinst scripts. Closing.
