#3855 Fix IPA 3.3 package issues
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by mkosek.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 995144

Description of problem:
Rob identified several issues with the new RHEL-7.0 package which should be
fixed before 7.0 GA:

1) /etc/tmpfiles.d/ipa.conf is missing the noreplace flag. Or do we assume
users won't modify this?

2) install/share/certmap.conf.template and install/share/05rfc2247.ldif have an
incorrect street address in the license. It should be 51 Franklin Street, Fifth
Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301, USA
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html)

3) In the trust subpackage the Description lines are longer than 80 chars and
need to be split better.

4) In python subpackage,
/usr/lib*/python*/site-packages/default_encoding_utf8.so is mode 0755 and an
automatic Provides is generated.

5) No man pages for ipa-test-task, ipa-test-config or ipa-run-tests in the
tests subpackage.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-3.3.0-1.el7

I just sent 2 patches fixing all issues except 5)

They shouldn't, if they want to add things they should add their own file.
I do not recall as anything should be really changed by users here. And we do not want this to break on pugrade if we change it as on a change it means we really need it deployed because the directories/files it creates are needed.
Maybe add a comment in the file that it should not be modified by users.

2) install/share/certmap.conf.template and install/share/05rfc2247.ldif have an

Maybe we should stop copying so much boilerplate and alwys reference just the cOPYING file ? (As in literally: "LICENSE: See COPYING")

I already raised the very same question to Rob, in the end we agreed on doing the (replace) to not discard potential user modifications - if user does not merge the new documentation, it's his problem.

Not sure, when you open such scripts or resources on your system, you do not instantly know what COPYING file to open (unless you can do rpm -qf, ...).
