Public bug reported:
Hello,
lsb_release:
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release: 18.04
(but the issue is observed on newer releases too.)
package:
5:4.0.9-1ubuntu0.2 500
Summary:
Expected behaviour: configuration fragments included by default
Current behavior: configuration fragments aren't included by default
Longer form:
Currently the redis.conf configuration file supports the "include" keyword.
However, by default, nothing is included. Problems can pop up when local
configuration needs to be maintained between upgrades. The upgrade mechanism
will prompt for manual intervention with the configuration file, if any changes
were made to it. Depending on the amount of customization done therein, this
could cause a time-consuming and error-prone situation of having to merge/patch
things up.
Other packages, such as Apache and MySQL (for instance, amongst many
others), have addressed this by providing a "conf.d"-style directory and
having "include conf.d/*" type of statement in the default configuration
file that's maintained by the package maintainer. This is effectively
the standard approach seen nowadays in Linux.
The benefit is obvious: one can simply drop their local configuration
file into the provided conf.d directory and upgrade away with far fewer
worries.
In summary, please consider affecting the following two (or three) changes to
the redis package:
1) add an empty /etc/redis/conf.d directory to the package
2) add the statement "include /etc/reds/conf.d/*" to the bottom of the
official /etc/redis.conf file to serve as an override of all default
settings
3) it's not clear to me whether wildcard can actually currently be
specified in the include statement. If they currently cannot be
specified, please patch the code to glob using the pattern specified in
the include, instead of targeting an individual file.
Thank you!
