Hi, journald.conf (as well as other components) in the systemd source tree has the following mention (emphasis mine):
# **Entries in this file show the compile time defaults**. Local configuration # should be created by either modifying this file (or a copy of it placed in # /etc/ if the original file is shipped in /usr/), or by creating "drop-ins" in # the /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/ directory. The latter is generally # recommended. Defaults can be restored by simply deleting the main # configuration file and all drop-ins located in /etc/. However, I cannot find a knob to use to change that default configuration in meson_options or by looking through src/journal and grepping. Should distributions simply use drop-ins in /usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf.d/ ? (for journald). It's not that it's hard, but the wording seems to imply that "primary" distributors (aka the one compiling systemd) should defined compile-time defaults, and /usr/lib/systemd/*.conf.d should be for overriding that. Am I missing documentation somewhere ? Thanks -- Max Gautier
