One of the main reasons for the try to make the update of configuration files more robust.
Before: user edits file in /etc. Package update installs new version as .rpmnew. User misses important changes.
After: user copies file from /usr/etc into /etc. Package update installs new version in /usr/etc. This version is ignored because file in /etc exists. User misses important changes.
Where exactly is difference and advantage from end-user perspective?
The idea in the long run is teaching apps to merge their config values, similar to what systemctl edit (without --full) does. /etc should only contain values, that deviate from system standards. So far the theory. Cheers, Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
