Package: courier-base
Version: 0.44.2-3
Severity: normal
When upgrading courier-base, I received a message informing me that:
"Some configuration files can be replaced by a subdirectory where all
files insides this directory are concatenated and considered to be a
single, consolidated, configuration file.
"The web-based administration provided by the courier-webadmin package
relies on configuration directories instead of configuration files. If
you agree, any directories needed for the web-based administration tool
will be created unless there is already a plain file in place."
There are two concerns I have with this. First, as a user of
courier-webadmin, I think (based on this message) that I want all
"directories needed for the web-based administration tool" to be
created, and any existing plain file to be migrated into that directory.
Secondly, there is no output informing me which, if any, of these
directories could not be created due to the presence of an existing
configuration file. This would, of course, be addressed by migrating
such a file automatically.
