Hello,

I am trying to make informal review following feature request:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1244353

One from warnings returned by rpmlint is:

ossim-data.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/profile.d/ossim.sh

Because ossim.sh is not configuration file but shell script (as usual in
profile.d/) I had a doubt about treating this warning.

Well, I sense a misinterpretation of "%config".

In the context of the /etc file hierarchy "%config" means "user-customizable", which means rpm/yum/dnf updates must not destroy any changes a user may have applied and should backup instead.

So I asked on fedora-review IRC channel and there I received answer that
this warning is acceptable.
Well, it's a minor issue, but it definitely is arguable.

In the bugzilla task I received answer that for the ossim.sh file should
be used %config macro.

My question is: what is valid answer for this case?

My recommendation is to use %config.

Ralf
