But I should not fully assign ownership of the directory to the packages that just drop files in there. Ref-counting of implicitly owned directories of some sort. But if a package explicitly owning the directory is later installed, it should of course take over the ownership. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
