Hi, the upgrade-checklist says:
| - If your package has a daemon startup script in /etc/init.d/, | and that script has parameters a system administrator may need, | you need to modify the script to read values from a conffile | placed in /etc/default/ directory. This conffile maybe sourced | by the init.d script to determine the configurable values (and | the conffile may contain only variable settings and comments). I have a package where the init script contains most of the package's functionality, and parses a free-format config file /etc/$PACKAGE.conf. That file is not a shell script and can't be directly sourced. Can I keep that file as /etc/$PACKAGE, should I move it to /etc/default (probably not), or do I have to re-work that file as sourceable file that is then sourced by the init script? Do I need to keep the init script as a conffile even if there are "no admin serviceable parts inside"? Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
