package usb-modeswitch-data forwarded 612690 digidie...@draisberghof.de thanks
Hi Michael, and thanks for your bugreport, first, I am hereby forwarding your bugreport to my nice upstream author (Hi Josh !). Le Thursday 10 February 2011 00:11:04 Michael Biebl, vous avez écrit : > Package: usb-modeswitch-data > Version: 20101222-3 > Severity: normal > > Hi, > > usb-modeswitch-data ships around 150 small files in > /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/ which don't look like configuration files at all, > but more like a hardware database. Correct. I'd say it's a hardware database of configuration files. Given the nature of the problem usb-modeswitch addresses, it is very convenient to be able to debug using real configuration files. > In addition if you use tools like etckeeper having a constantly changing > usb-modeswitch-data is painful. I'm not personally using etckeeper, but I understand the problem. > Please consider moving those files to /usr/share, or if they are needed > during boot to /lib/usb-modeswitch. Note that this solution is implemented as the usb-modeswitch-data-packed package, which ships a tarball of what lives in /etc/usb-modeswitch.d. Both u-m- d and u-m-d-packed conflict with eachother, as they both ship the udev rules file (/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules). The idea behind providing both packages is to allow "small disk impact under /usr" xor "configuration files for debugging". > If there really is a need for a user to overwrite certain settings, make > it possible, that a file can be copied from /usr/share to files in /etc > taking preference. Since version 1.1.4, the usb-modeswitch.tcl script in package usb-modeswitch will give precedence to database entries found in the /usr/share/usb- modeswitch/configPack.tar.gz, without trying to fallback to /etc/usb- modeswitch.d/ entries (which cannot be present at the same time due to Conflicts anyway). I would be inclined to say that your bugreport is already addressed by the usb- modeswitch-data-packed package, but I'll let you comment on that.
