Package: apticron
Hello,
commit 43ba6e00e52cb47904fe93cd8948f79ae8401162 "No need to source a
conf file from usr/lib" [1] removes the loading of the default
configuration file from `/usr/lib`. This breaks stateless configuration
of apticron.
The basic idea of stateless configuration [2] is that the default
configuration of an application is provided by the application itself
and is installed somewhere in `/usr/lib`. User configuration, instead is
always stored under `/etc` and partially overrides the default
configurations.
This allows the packager to ship a default configuration that will never
conflict with the user-provided configuration. It also allows
centralized installations in `/usr` and machine-locale configurations in
`/etc`. Plenty of other reasons are described in [2].
No loss of functionality and much easier to maintain for sys admins.
Could you please revert commit 43ba6e00?
Regards,
[1]
