What is a better fix to peruse, adding functionality to run-parts, or patching util.py to not use the regex? Well the --regex=.* above is just to avoid debian's implicit filtering rules, and run all scripts. The fedora run-parts will run everything anyway (only avoiding obvious things like rpmsave files etc.) So I'd change cloud-init to support the existing system, which I've done in a patch attached to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795998 cloud-init upstream would need a more general tweak to support both systems. cheers, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
