to come back to this, original email as reference below. Looks like Lennart Poettering wants to do something similar with Fedora for systemd.volatile, /etc should only contain the user modified files, everything distribution provided should be located in /usr.
I only don't like to fill up /usr/lib with even more stuff people will not find anymore afterwards.
The discussions on the FHS mailing list were mixed, but in the end: FHS will not specify anything, we should just do it. The most promising suggestions were: - /usr/sysconfig - /usr/config - /usr/etc
Starting doing the changes and moving the stuff around is simple, we only need to agree on a location.
What's the opinion here?
If we do want to follow Poettering and Fedora, then to me it would sound logical to at least go the same direction (together with Fedora?).
No, we don't want to follow Poettering and Fedora, especially not, if they move everything to /usr/lib. While we share the same idea, but to solve complelty different problems, we hope we can convience them to follow us and put the configuration files in an own directory. /usr/lib is already overcrowded and you cannot really search/grep there for something. The clear feedback I got until now, especially at the openSUSE Conference, was, please make sure that the configuration files are back in one, or at least two locations and not in several hundred ones.
BTW: is there a list of affected packages available? That can't be too long, is it?
rpm -qf /etc/* /etc/*/* | sort -u The list is long, some of them are low hanging fuits, others will be next to impossible to solve. That's why I'm interested in what Lennart is planing, it could save us quite some work.
