New: Clarify host.conf and resolv.conf status
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75991
Bug ID: 75991
Summary: Clarify host.conf and resolv.conf status
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/[email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: No
host.conf does not refer to resolv.conf at all and vice versa, it might not be obvious by reading the man pages that host.conf is the legacy configuration file. At least the "order" option in host.conf is completely ignored although the man pages describes it like any other option. There was a patch to address this sent earlier but it wasn't updated based on review and after that no progress:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.man/3413
Please clarify host.conf and resolv.conf relationship and status in the related man pages, and update the description for obsolete and deprecate options as needed.
Thanks.
