My point is that /var/lib/lrpkg/shorwall.conf should not point to files that do not exist.
Oh.... sorry, this is for the configuration tool .... my fault :-(
Mhhh an egg and hen problem. If we include it in the initial distribution then an upgrade will overwrite it. IIRC LEAF does not have a postinstall function yet.
I think that Charles's suggestion about using two packages makes this a bit more friendly. The main problem that I see with that approach is that it doesn't allow any way for me to add a new config file in the future and have it reflected in the Shorewall configuration menu.
Well, I believe they are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
If we include let's say /etc/shorewalluser/* in /var/lib/lrpkg/shorewall.list and /etc/shorewalluser/shorewall.conf in the /var/lib/lrpkg/swconf.list then, if swconf.lrp _was_ installed, the user configuration would be saved to swconf.lrp, else it would be saved to shorewall.lrp. In any case you would not need to populate /etc/shorewalluser/shorewall.conf as the backup script would take care of user config data. This sounds complicated, but from a user's perspective would be almost invisible.
Well, it sounds complicated to me -- I'm lost :-)
Sorry, probably my fault being unclear :-(
I am referring to the lrcfg backup tool in LEAF.
The respective .list files in the directory /var/lib/lrpkg define what files are part of a .lrp package.
Files that are defined in multiple .list packages are not archived at all, but files implicitly included in a directory path in one file _and_ explicitly included in the other are backed up in the package which explicitly includes them.
If the /var/lib/lrpkg/shorwall.list file _and_ the /var/lib/lrpkg/swconf.list file both contain /etc/shorewalluser/shorewall.conf _and_ both packages are installed on a LEAF system then this file would never be backed up. This can be avoided by including /etc/shorewalluser to /var/lib/lrpkg/shorewall.list _and_ /etc/shorewalluser/shorewall.conf to /var/lib/lrpkg/swconf.list, e.g. naming the file explicitly in swconf.list.
If _both_ packages (shorewall.lrp and swconf.lrp) are installed then the /etc/shorewalluser/shorewall.conf will be saved to the swconf.lrp package.
If only shorewall.lrp is installed then the file will go to shorewall.lrp.
...
I assume that by "configuration file" you mean shorewall.conf (as opposed to shorwall.conf in /var/lib/lrpkg/).
yes.
cheers Erich
