Well, to mimic standard setup for all other services.
I also think separating vendor-specific parts, such as init scripts, from upstream parts, such as main daemon configuration, make life easier for both parts. It's easier for packagers to provide vendor-specific customisation without side effects (I'd prefer avoiding to add a USE_MDV_SPECIFIC_FEATURE_X in autofs configuration). And it avoid upstream maintainer to provide vendor-targeted switches, such as --where-do-you-want-the-automount-configuration-to-be-installed, as this standard (%sysconfdir). _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
