Your are probably right about locating the files in /var/lib/connman.
They certainly get updated when connman is stopped and started again.

Thanks for your consideration and the packaging of conman.

Cheers,

Brian.

Bug#833294: connman: Purging the package does not remove all files

[Alexander Sack]

tags 833294 - moreinfo
tags 833294 + confirmed
thanks

Yes, those shouldn't stay around after purging.

Settings I have to check, but I don't think it's meant to be settings
for manual edit by admin as connman probably updates those on the fly
regularly based on what user does in the UI or clie config tool, so
think var is OK for that to live ...

Thanks,

I am not an expert on what goes where in the file system but settings
seems to be a configuration file to me and belongs in /etc. What data
is I do not know but I suppose it could be a state file. Either way I
would have thought purging the package would have removed them.

Hi Brian,

Bug#833294: connman: Purging the package does not remove all files

[Brian Potkin]

Package: connman
Version: 1.32-0.1
Severity: normal


Connman creates /var/lib/connman. 'apt-get purge connman' does not remove
this directory or the files it contains. NetworkManager and Wicd create
similar directories in /var but do remove them on purging.

Regards,

Brian.
