I suggest adding a subpackage (either to pam_ldap or nss_ldap - > choose package which you think will be used in more cases) named for example > ldap-config which would contain just the ldap.conf and ldap.secret files. The > nss_ldap and pam_ldap packages can then require this package. The upstream tarballs actually ship default configuration files with different contents. There's nothing stopping an admin from linking the two. Meanwhile, moving the ldap.conf file from one package to the other during an upgrade requires stepping around RPM's built-in handling of %config files, and probably needs to involve triggers -- I just don't want to go there. I'm also wary of people continuing to incorrectly assume that /etc/ldap.conf is some global everything-should-read-this-file-for-ldap-settings file, which it was never supposed to be. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
