How to handle config file that has changed names

2003-09-21 Thread Peter Karlsson
Hi! A new version of a package that I maintain has changed the name of the default configuration file. I want to propagate this name change, but how do I handle it properly? AFAICT, I'm not allowed to touch conffiles in the maintainer scripts, but this would mean that the old configuration would

Strange rpath problem

2003-09-21 Thread Stephen Gran
Hello all, I am having a strange issue with disabling rpath in one of my packages. ./configure is run with --disable-rpath, but linitan still gives me: 1) W: kcdlabel source: newer-standards-version 3.6.1 2) W: kcdlabel source: configure-generated-file-in-source config.status 3) W: kcdlabel

Andreas Metzler: You could conditionally move the existing configuration file in the preinst to the new location. Thanks. I'm doing something similar with a non-conffile for another of my packages, so I'll just copy the working code from that. I was just unsure whether I was allowed to do it
