Description Ludwig Nussel 2023-10-31 11:10:45 UTC

nfs-client ships several (sample) config files in /etc. Those should be removed nowadays. Just package the samples as %doc. The relevant ones should be shipped in /usr (e.g /usr/etc) instead. Bonus points for also supporting drop-ins.

I don't fully understand.
Do you want these file to not appear in /etc/ at all?  i.e you want the code changed to look in /usr/etc??? Or should nfs-client add a symlink e.g from /etc/nfs.conf to /usr/etc/nfs.conf
Is there some documentation explaining how this all *should* work?

Comment 3 Neil Brown 2023-11-23 21:18:06 UTC

I found
 https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_UsrEtc
it all makes sense now.  I posted a patch upstream to support reading from /usr/etc first.  The code already handles drop-ins.

I'll hopefully submit a new nfs-utils next week.

Comment 4 Neil Brown 2023-12-08 03:35:17 UTC

I've submitted a new nfs-utils to Base:System which I think does the right thing.
Config files are no in /usr/etc, though putting files in /etc also works.

I've created the foo.conf.d directories in /etc as well as in /usr/etc.

Could you have a look and make sure it now matches your requirements?  Thanks.

Comment 5 Ludwig Nussel 2023-12-14 09:34:54 UTC

lgtm. You may want to add some scripting to restored backed up config files as described in
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_UsrEtc#Moving_of_configuration_files

Unfortunately rpm itself doesn't help with that.
