E.g.:</div><div><br></div><div>nova.conf:</div><div>[hyperv]</div><div><br></div><div>quantum.conf:</div><div>[HYPERV] </div><div><br></div><div>This inconsistency can lead to a lot of issues from a user perspective, as it's quite difficult to troubleshoot this type of configuration file errors. IMHO a common convention should be decided and applied consistently across all OpenStack projects. Since the [DEFAULT] group is uppercase, I'd go with this casing, but anything else is fine as long as it is consistent. </div><div><br></div><div>In a recent chat on the #openstack-nova channel, markmc proposed to do case insensitive group names matching, which IMO would be a perfect solution.</div><div>This is also supported by the fact that historically sections (groups) names are case insensitive in the INI format used by OpenStack: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file#Case_insensitivity">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file#Case_insensitivity</a> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
