Description Kay Sievers 2012-11-30 11:48:54 UTC
Fedora is migrating away from:
 /etc/sysconfig/network (the HOSTNAME=... setting)
 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
 /etc/sysconfig/i18n
to:
 /etc/hostname
 /etc/vconsole.conf
 /etc/locale.conf

See the tracker bug 881785 for details.

We found:
 ovirt-config-hostname: HOSTNAME_FILE="/etc/sysconfig/network

Please update the package for the new config files.

The old files are converted and deleted from the system at update time.
If reading the old files is still supported, please make sure they are
never created again.

Thanks!

These two patches are a first shot to migrate to the new methods, but keeping the legacy methods for centos+rhel.

http://gerrit.ovirt.org/13836 -- hostname
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/13837 -- locale

Basically the patches pull the configuration of the topic into one central places, which is using either the new or legacy way.

Needs testing.
