--- Comment #4 from Dominique Leuenberger
As this is a general hint applying to all sysconfig files, I do not see why it would need to be added to the this file explicitly.
Ok, if such hint is applicable to all sysconfig file, let's have it there to be more user-friendly. Because this can help to avoid to make redundant hand's movements from user/admin and save his time on setting software up.
========================== # HINT: Place your own space separated parameters to respective option in one line. # Do NOT use multi-lines to put two or more parameters for one option. # Parser will read and accept the last line of your "list" only and ignore all previous ones. ==========================
Were you really expecting OPTION="Value1" OPTION="Value2" to result in OPTION="Value1 Value2"? That would be a very strange expectation. Any other reasonable look at the file you see that there are key=value assignments. Any duplication of keys obviously overwrites previous assignments. IMHO, spelling this out in every file makes no sense -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
