The same packages are moving towards a system where config files reside under /usr/lib with users overriding the defaults in /etc (/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ and /etc/udev/rules.d). I doubt this would have come about if RPM had a sensible way of dealing with config files -if they had etc-update/dispatch-conf for example. -- Eray Aslan <e...@gentoo.org>
