Greetings. It's come up in the review of a package I have submitted that there is no guideline for /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ files. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500437 My understanding is that these are not really config files. End users should not be editing them. Many of the packages that have files in there do not mark them as config. Some packages do. I suppose they could be edited by end users, but I wouldn't think it would be very common or desired. Should we have a guideline for them (or add to an existing one)? Should the be marked config or not? Should they not be under /etc/ at all?
These look to me more like resource XML files than actual configuration files. As such, they are probably more suited for /usr/share/dbus-1/ (which already contains a bunch of other xml files).
I would not block a review on this though, /etc contains a lot of "pseudo" configuration files like this (GConf schemas for example). From an upstream project perspective, they are configuration files, but from a Fedora desktop user, they are not meant to be modified...
