https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=280493 Summary: logfiles not owned by any package Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: lrupp@novell.com ReportedBy: lrupp@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de We've currently many packages which produce logfiles but didn't own them. Some results: - security scanners inform users about file not owned by a package - some Logfiles differ from the name of the package, so the user has no chance to "guess" which package produces the logfile - possible of unknown file conflicts when a logfile is used by different packages - ... If no one insists, we should use the %ghost directive for this. To avoid deletion of the logfile if the RPM is deinstalled, it must be enhanced with the %config(noreplace,missingok) option. Example for the specfile: %install [...] %{__install} -d -m755 %buildroot%_var/log touch %buildroot%_var/log/<logfilename> [...] %files %ghost %config(noreplace,missingok) %_var/log/<logfilename> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
