- change rpmlint to no longer block files in /etc/sysconfig/
This will go into the wrong direction:
Hehe, not really ;-) It won't go into the wrong direction - the main change would be that /etc/sysconfig/$whatever would be rpm-owned instead of being "just there". And that would bring the usual advantages of rpm-handled files, for example *.rpmnew and *.rpmsave and deleting unmodified files when they get dropped from the package. And while it doesn't go into the wrong direction, I admit that it also wouldn't move much towards the final direction of /usr/etc/.
- /etc must not be polluted by rpm anymore - defaults for each pkg must go into a to-be-defined location below /usr - an admin can still tweak certain settings in the well-known and documented locations below /etc/sysconfig
As long as existing /etc/sysconfig/$whatever will still be honored (or there will be migration scripts, and ideally also cleanup scripts for unchanged sysconfig files) - fine. The thing I don't like are breaking changes (unless there is a _very_ good reason for causing the breakage). If you avoid such breaking changes (in whatever way), people will be happy ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- a computer without an Internet connection is essentially a very expensive DVD player [http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2006/07/10/a_nerd_in_a_cave.html] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
