Not directly related, but all files in my /etc/sysconfig have mode 0644. Are you suggesting to change that?

our packaging guidelines for %fillup_only [1] currently do not suggest anything for the %files section for the files generated in `/etc/sysconfig/`. I would like to suggest that we start adding the newly generated file `/etc/sysconfig/$pkgname` as follows to the %files section: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- %files %ghost %config(noreplace) %attr(0600,root,root) /etc/sysconfig/%{name}

Adding a %ghost is a good idea. Looking at Aaron's question, I'd propose to add a note that the packager can/should choose between 600 or 644 permissions. (But: I don't know if the permissions are relevant for %ghost at all.)

%dir /etc/sysconfig

/etc/sysconfig/ is part of the "filesystem" package, therefore I'd say there's no need to (also) package it in other packages.
