So are you suggesting that if DESTDIR is set, the /etc/ symlinks should be skipped? I'm not sure I'd vote for DESTDIR dependant stuff - that's just a little bit too cryptic and subtle when working on code for packaging vs working on code for hacking. Personally I'm quite happy with the simple packaging tweak to clean them up: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/systemd/current/SPECS/systemd.spec?revision=235024&view=markup#l256 (s/used/users/ in the comment) Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/ _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
