If you read the rationale: this helps us on all kind of updates, even plain ones with RPM. We had in the last months again enough problems/bug reports of not working/insecure systems, since users/admins ignored *.rpmsave and *.rpmnew files and did not merge the configuration files after an update. This proposal should help with this and make the user experience on updates much better.
How does this solve that? I can still place a configuration file in /etc with this proposal and ignore *.rpmsave and *.rpmnew.
If you strictly follow systemd, /etc/ will only contain your changes to the original configuration files. And the application will try to merge them or report an error, so that you notice it immeaditly that something is broken. Of course, this is unforunatley not possible with all kind of configuration files, thus will not solve it for all applications. There will be no *.rpmsave nor *.rpmnew files, since longterm, no package should install anything in /etc. Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk, Distinguished Engineer, Senior Architect SLES & MicroOS SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Felix Imendoerffer, Mary Higgins, Sri Rasiah, HRB 21284 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
