Something like that. Now:
Package A /etc/A.conf
Package B /etc/B.conf
With CVS I need to version whole /etc in order to track packages A and
B. What I'd like to be able is to do this:
Package A /etc/A/A.conf
Package B /etc/B/B.conf
So that I can separately version A and B packages e.g. attaching
accompnying README files, backup files etc. And retrieving the
configuration to ohther hosts separately (shared common files).
This problem is actually universal for all /etc packages that put
files directly at top dir. For me. these I would find most useful
to have their own subdirectories
debarchiver.conf
hdparm.conf
logrotate.conf
ntp.conf
resolv.conf
rsyncd.conf
smartd.conf
vnc.conf
Overall the general clean solution is to reserve own directory
for every package (just like in usr/lib, usr/cache ...). It's
just old legacy that /etc is the way it is now.
Thanks,
Jari
