Not enabling --enable-fhs is not an option as it produces a file system
hierarchy not compatible with DFSG.
I've tried with --sysconfdir=/etc but as I said some conffiles will be
located in etc. :
Files in second .deb but not in first
-
-rw-r--r-- root/root /etc/data_structure.version
-rw-r--r-- root/root /etc/sympa/sympa.conf
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /etc/smrsh/bouncequeue -> /usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /etc/smrsh/familyqueue -> /usr/lib/sympa/bin/familyqueue
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /etc/smrsh/queue -> /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue
Files in first .deb but not in second
-
-rw-r--r-- root/root /etc/sympa/sympa/sympa.conf

It means that the other "config" files required by sympa will move to
/etc:
/etc/sympa/auth.conf -> /etc/auth.conf
/etc/sympa/data_structure.version -> /etc/data_structure.version
/etc/sympa/$robot_dir -> /etc/$robot_dir
...
I'm not sure that it is what we want :)

M.

It is already the case:

This is an upstream choice:
See https://www.sympa.org/index
"""
Default config location is now /etc/sympa/ (or $sysconfig/sympa/)
instead of /etc/. This solves the problem of config file lock creation
being denied when trying to read the binary version of the config file
at startup
"""

Yes, I agree that we could add some informations about this in
debian/NEWS.

Bug#839728: Odd changes to Sympa configuration files
package: sympa version: 6.2.16~dfsg-1 Hello, I produced a backport of the new 6.2 packages and the main configuration file ends up as /etc/sympa/sympa/sympa.conf which seems quite odd to me. The other problem is that the user isn't notified about the new location and the fact that wwsympa.conf was merged as well. So what happened to me was that the FCGI connector didn't work and it took me a while to figure out that changing /etc/sympa/wwsympa.conf didn't help at all. I hope we can fix that before the new package hits testing. Regards Racke -- Ecommerce and Linux consulting + Perl and web application programming. Debian and Sympa administration.
