While building and installing postgresql, I see that the rc control file
specifies the IP address for the host explicitly (i.e. 127.0.0.1). It
seems to me that this should be someplace in the %{l_prefix}/etc/postgresql
directory, not in the startup control file itself, and that this type of
information should be specified at %config(noreplace) so that updates don't
break running systems (yeah, I'm sounding like a broken record :-).
It seems to me that package configuration information belongs in the
%{l_prefix}/etc/%{name} directories, not in the %{l_prefix}/rc.d/rc.%{name}
startup scripts. At the very least, the startup scripts should be declared
as %config files so that installation changes appear as messages during
updates.
