Package: bcfg2-server
Version: 0.8.7.3-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

The version 0.8.7 introduced the new style reporting system in the
package (no more brpt), and it also make setting possible through the 
/usr/share/pycentral/bcfg2-server/site-packages/Bcfg2/Server/Reports/settings.py
file. In particular it allows one to use a different backend db.

The problem is that, since it is not a conffile, modifying it will cause
the debsums to fail and reinstall the package with a clean file at each
bcfg2 iteration. I think that the nature of the file would allow the
transition. 

Also, would it be possible to have a separate package for the reporting
system? It would be very useful when one tries to decouple the server
from the reporting...

thanks

jacques

PS: I set the severity to minor as there are ways to get around it.
Either with a divert or with a ConfigFile entry in the bcfg2 definition.
It is just a bit annoying.
