Same for all ordinary files. > > yes, but not relevant Really? Ordinary files in /etc don't meet your expectations (see below). They could be overwritten any time during an upgrade. Just like files marked as %config. Hell could break lose, if /etc/init.d/functions were marked as %config(noreplace) and an update would only create an .rpmnew copy of the new file. Marking files as %config(noreplace) is a trade-off. Whether to mark a file as such is to be decided on a case-by-case basis. > as sysadmin i expect *anything* below /etc as configuration intended to > be changed local and not overwritten by regular package updates > > anything which is not intended to for local changes belongs to /usr Sure. That may be the future. However, not everything in /etc is marked as a configuration file yet. Simply claiming that files in /etc/profile.d/ are not configuration files to begin complicates matters too much. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
