Hello,
I notided that Ubuntu is thinking about keeping an unmodified copy of all /etc files which can then be used to make various things easier (upgrades, "what did the user change?" etc.)
You can find more details on http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/meeting/20293/foundations-q-dpkg-pristine-con... and/or listen to the audio livestream (linked on that page) in some hours - the time specified on the page is in PDT timezone, which translates to May 10 (= today) 17:00:00 UTC.
IMHO this feature would also be useful for openSUSE, so someone[tm] should follow this session ;-)
actually keeping a second copy of the config files on /etc seems bad considering the UsrMove "movement" maybe all config files should be moved to /usr/etc and symlinked to /etc (where users would be allowed to override) but not having a VCS for the config files is stupid IMHO anyway: see https://features.opensuse.org/310713 note: I don't have a launchpad account and could only read this too late to attend so if someone has an account maybe forwar this to them, thanks -- cobexer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
