Feature changed by: Jan Matejek (matejcik) Feature #313540, revision 7 Title: Get rid of SuSEconfig.mailman openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no point to run that code after installation of every package (and it's not run when you use zypper or 3rd party tools anyways). That code should be only run as a part of post-install of the mailman packages as only those are affected. Relations: - Remove SuSEconfig (feature/id: 100011) Discussion: #1: Christian Boltz (cboltz) (2012-10-02 19:24:34) SuSEconfig.mailman has/had to be run after changing /etc/sysconfig/mailman (but not in %post or something like that) https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/136611 (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/136611) comes with this . changes entry: - removed SuSEconfig dependency * SuSEconfig.mailman is moved to a new location, and works pretty much the same way as before. which may or may not be a good thing, perhaps this functionality should be removed completely I tend to the "may not" part ;-) - the better solution would be if mailman reads the sysconfig file at startup. + #2: Jan Matejek (matejcik) (2012-10-03 16:32:38) (reply to #1) + > the better solution would be if mailman reads the sysconfig file at + startup. + Not really. Of course, we could make this script a part of service + startup entry. But let's see, do we have a feature or customer usecase + for that? ;e) + The way I see it, users can configure their mailman installation using + mailman's own config files - which they would have to do anyway if they + wanted to modify something beyond what sysconfig covers. I'm not sure + why the sysconfig functionality was originally added and i'm not aware + of any benefits over configuring mailman directly (esp. since you have + to run mailman-generate-sysconfig afterwards). So perhaps we should + stop pretending that sysconfig somehow does a better job and instead + provide instructions for the source config file? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313540
