Bug#1053849: base-files: Allow .d for issue and issue.net
Hi Santiago, thx for feedback. You re right about motd it will be do the work. I guess somebody mess at the setup. I fix it. I m aware of the unattended-upgraded and related. Thx for everything. The issue can be close. J. Le 12/10/2023 à 19:30, Santiago Vila a écrit : El 12/10/23 a las 14:41, Bardot Jerome escribió: Is there is a way to use the conf.d mecanism for files in base-files. In my case it's for issue and issue.net. For explanation i will imagine the directory issue.d . Maybe it's need an option to concatenate or erase default file. And maybe the same way to load 10- 20- etc. The files "issue" and "issue.net" have a single line of text. I'd like to keep base-files simple. Creating a .d mechanism for files with one line of text seems a little bit overkill to me. Why asking ? - to separate my own legal issue and the default one Well. Good news: The file containing the legal issue is /etc/motd and it's not contained in base-files.deb. This means that it's not a conffile in the dpkg sense. There will be no questions about it if you change it, because base-files creates it only once in the very first install (from debootstrap) and then does not touch it at all ever again. - no more dpkg question on update/upgrade. Well, you can avoid all questions by using the "unattended-upgrades" package. This usually works triggered by cron, but you can also disable the cron part and run it whenever you want to do the upgrade. It upgrades everything but without any questions. What would make /etc/issue so special that we have to change the way we handle it when people have a generic way to avoid all sort of questions? (not just the ones in base-files). Do you consider unattended-upgrades not enough for your particular needs? Thanks.

Package: base-files Version: 13 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: bardot.jer...@gmail.com Dear Maintainer, Is there is a way to use the conf.d mecanism for files in base-files. In my case it's for issue and issue.net. For explanation i will imagine the directory issue.d . Maybe it's need an option to concatenate or erase default file. And maybe the same way to load 10- 20- etc. Why asking ? - to separate my own legal issue and the default one - no more dpkg question on update/upgrade.
