The Packaging Committee has been discussing guidelines for init scripts for a while. Currently there is a split between init scripts being marked as %config and many that aren't. We (the PC) with input from various folks feel it is best to not mark init scripts as %config, and instead promote configuration to happen in an /etc/sysconfig/<init> file. Mostly the reason being that init scripts are just that, scripts to run and not config files to edit. As such I've drafted a proposal for the guidelines and the PC approved it. There is time now for a wider audience to review the proposed change and comment. Please take a moment to read through http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/InitScripts and provide some feedback. If nobody has major objections or reasonable adjustments, this will become policy in a week's time. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
