Hello, I'm currently preparing an update for a package. Until now, the configuration file(s) was/were located in /etc. Now there are changes, which make it more useful to have the configuration files inside /etc/foobar. The configuration files look like foobar.conf*.
Are there special things I need to care of? Does anyone know a package, where the configuration files moved? I already added a NEWS file. But not every user installed apt-listchanges, so I should also inform him during update. Is it enough, do this on command-line or should I better use a debconf-dialog? Is it enough to only inform the user or should I better ask him [1], if his configuration files should be moved? What would you do? [1] If the files are not moved, the package breaks. Alternatively I could (re)add /etc as search-path for the config-files, but moving the files is really recommended. Would you add this backwards compatibility "option"? PS: I know, these are very generic information. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
