Hi all,
During the review of one of my packages it was pointed out that files under
/etc/gconf/schemas should not be marked %config, because they shouldnot be
edited and because leaving old edited versions there when using
%config(noreplace) could have bad side effects on the working of gconf.
So I filed a bug against rpmlint as rpmlint complains about files under
/etc/gconf/schemas not beging %config:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235487
Ville then asked the question in that BZ ticket, that since these files
shouldn't be edited, that we really should be installing them under /usr/share.
I also know of atleast one package where upstream by default does exactly that.
Ville also found a Debian draft policy on this:
http://burtonini.com/computing/gnome-policy-20050123.html#id2447554
I tend to agree with Ville's and the Debian draft policy's reasoning, these
files really should be under /usr/share (and gconf should be tought to look in
both locations)
So what do others think? I would like to see some discussion on this here and
then I would like to see / ask the FPC (to) make a decision on this, includng
whether or not to use %config for them.
Thanks & Regards,
Hans
