I just discussed that with Steve on IRC:
03:54 < vorlon> _rene_: ping
03:54 < vorlon> _rene_: er, pong
04:03 < _rene_> vorlon: about #374197; is he right or you? ;)
04:04 < gravity> mysterious mysteries
04:06 < vorlon> _rene_: er, /etc/odbcinst.ini is *not* a conffile; there's a
defined interface for making changes to it, which
is to use the odbcinst command, and WTF, how does
odbc-postgresql *still* not do this when I sent the
maintainer a recipe for it something like two years ago?
04:07 < vorlon> (granted, I've since figured out my recipe is crap and needs
serious fixing, but.)
04:08 < _rene_> vorlon: can you please tell him then? :)
04:09 < vorlon> _rene_: not right now, I'm taking off for a trip; FWIW, I did
just see that /etc/odbcinst.ini is claimed on my
system by odbcinst1debian1, which just means I fucked something
up in the last unixodbc upload, will fix shortly04:09 < vorlon> (next couple of
days, I mean)
04:10 < _rene_> vorlon: jup, that's also why I asked you.
04:10 < _rene_> vorlon: because that made me think it's really a conffile, and
maybe petere, too
04:10 < _rene_> I'll just send him this IRC snippet
04:10 < vorlon> well, clearly it /is/ a conffile, it's just total crap that it
is because odbcinst.ini doesn't meet policy's
criteria for conffiles
04:11 < _rene_> aha, so odbc-postgresql should invoke odbcinst to register
itself.
04:11 < vorlon> yes
04:11 < _rene_> will send him the log :)
04:12 < vorlon> thanks. :)
So please add it.
Regards,
Rene
