What you describe is roughly what I wrote up in my last TODO message. > In Debian, there should possibly be a policy decided upon. > (what the dir is, what API is, etc) I don't immediately see why the resolver management scheme has to be written up in policy. It concerns only a small set of packages. The APM subsystem uses a similar scheme (/etc/apm/apmd_proxy, /etc/apm/event.d, etc.) but is nowhere mentioned in policy. Eventually, however, there will have to be policy that forbids routinely writing to files in /etc/. And there will have to be a FHS change to allow for /run/. -- Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
