OpenRC-settingsd provides an implementation of the the hostnamed, localed,
and timedated D-Bus services for OpenRC-based systems.

Hostnamed:

 See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/hostnamed for the D-Bus
 protocol description.

 The static hostname is stored in /etc/conf.d/hostname as
 hostname="foo"

 The pretty hostname and icon name are stored in /etc/machine-info as
 PRETTY_HOSTNAME="Foo !"
 ICON_NAME="computer-desktop"

 It is strongly recommended that hostnamed be used with nss-myhostname
 (http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-myhostname/) to ensure the local
 host name always remains resolvable.

Localed:

 See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/localed for the D-Bus
 protocol description.

 The system locale variables are set in /etc/env.d/02locale.

 Virtual console keymap is set in /etc/conf.d/keymaps as
 keymap="foo"
 The virtual console keymap toggle is not supported.

 X11 keyboard options are set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf
 (falling back to 00-keyboard.conf if it exists and 30-keyboard.conf does
 not). See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Guide for configuration
 information.

Timedated:

  See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/timedated for the
  D-Bus protocol description.

  The RTC UTC vs. local time setting is set in /etc/conf.d/hwclock as
  clock="UTC" or clock="local".

  The timezone is set in /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime.

  OpenRC-settingsd attempts to auto-detect an appropriate ntp implementation.
  To avoid auto-detection, use the --ntp-service command line option.

Note that OpenRC-settingsd expects any shell-syntax settings files that it
modifies to be in UTF-8 encoding, and to consist only of comments and simple
scalar assignments, i.e. something like

# a comment
foo="bar"
baz='Let'\''s go!'

If OpenRC-settingsd fails to parse a settings file, it will refuse to modify
it.

This project was originally maintained by Gentoo's GNOME desktop team.
