Hello,
I am sending you this email because I have a problem with the unstable
branch of murasaki.
As you probably know some weeks ago I became the new maintainer of your
package. I was planing to make a new release of the unstable branch
(O.7.x) in order to upload it in 'experimental' but I had a problem with
its init scripts.
The problem is that a Debian package has not the right to modify
automaticaly things under the /etc dir. That means that murasaki itself
is not allowed to write anything in /etc/murasaki/*.
Instead of modifing the content of /etc/murasaki/* please could you
consider moving files under /var/run/murasaki or something like that.
(/var/cache/murasaki or /var/lib/murasaki, etc...)
-From the Debian policy :
"Note that a package should not modify a dpkg-handled conffile in its
maintainer scripts. Doing this will lead to dpkg giving the user
confusing and possibly dangerous options for conffile update when the
package is upgraded. "
(http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ap-pkg-conffiles.html -- E1)
Moreover as a reference you can read the following email from Russell
Coker:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01297.html
Do you think it's something possible or not?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Cheers,
