The debian package should not silently replace configuration files

Details

  • Type: Bug Bug
  • Status: Resolved Resolved
  • Priority: Critical Critical
  • Resolution: Fixed
  • Affects Version/s: 5.0.0-M1
  • Fix Version/s: 5.0.0-RC-1
  • Component/s: Packaging
  • Security Level: Public
  • Description:
    Hide

    When one of the Debian package is reinstalled or upgraded, the configuration files are silently replaced with the package defaults.

    Even though the risk is mitigated because petals-esb and petals-registry favour configuration in a specific directory for each instance, the problem still exists for the default-env, default-snmp, the default configurations as well as the CLI's configuration files.

    Debian provides a mechanism to handle that and an upgrade will notify the administrator in case of conflicts between the package file and the filesystem file.
