Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> file configures
|
|
system-wide locale settings. It is read at early boot by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The basic file format of <filename>locale.conf</filename> is
|
|
a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible
|
|
variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration
|
|
from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments, no
|
|
shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the
|
|
file without implementing a shell compatible execution
|
|
engine.</para>

<para>The locale settings configured in
|
|
<filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> are system-wide and are
|
|
inherited by every service or user, unless overridden or unset by
|
|
individual programs or individual users.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Depending on the operating system, other configuration files
|
|
might be checked for locale configuration as well, however only as
|
|
fallback.</para>
|
|
|

<para><filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> is usually created and updated

using

|

<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>localectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
may be used to alter the settings in this file during runtime from
|
|
the command line. Use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to initialize them on mounted (but not booted) system images.</para>
