For one package I maintain (qpid-cpp-server) the upstream team moved the
location of the configuration file from /etc to /etc/qpid, where the
other configuration files lived.
I pushed the latest update and am now getting hit with negative karma
and a BZ complaining about this change.
What is SOP for when a project moves configurations? I had resisted the
suggestion of having the spec move the configuration. Talking with other
packagers they agreed. But simply replying to a BZ with "the file's
moved, just copy yours over" and closing the BZ feels a bit aloof.
Suggestions?
