<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Colin Guthrie at 07/01/13 11:51 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> Hi,
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I just updated rootcerts package on my cauldron box and got about 50 ish
</I>&gt;<i> .rpmnew files for changed pem files.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> It seems mostly indentation changes (*sigh*) but it made me think - Are
</I>&gt;<i> these really config files? I'd expect these to not be marked as config
</I>&gt;<i> even if they are kept in /etc/ Ideally I'd rather see them kept in
</I>&gt;<i> /usr/share anyway as that seems more appropriate, but that's likely not
</I>&gt;<i> possible without causing a lot of pain.
</I>

Just for completeness, I started this thread over on systemd ML which
talked about a &quot;CoreOS&quot; goal of being able to boot with an empty /etc

<A HREF="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/7908">http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/7908</A>

I've been slowly trying to push this anyway (i.e. moving all shipped
udev rules and tmpfiles to /usr) but there is a long, long way to go
here to get this fully working (and a crap-load of packages to fix up in
this regards so it won't really happen anytime soon).

Still, it would make running a chrooted/multi-root/shared-/usr system
much more manageable and I think it's something we should all keep in
mind as we package and develop things :)

Happy hacking.

Col
