Re: Best way to handle config overrides in packages
Hi Oleg,
I'd say the best way to handle this would be to work with the package
maintainer/upstream to allow config files to be specified in
/usr/share/<package>. This way dpkg will automatically remove the files
for you.
Before going down that path I did attempt it in /etc/. It was messy but
the closest thing to a working solution was manually calling
`mv_conffile` in the postrm script. See
https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/miniramfs/-/merge_requests/7/diffs
for an example.
