Re: Errors Packaging Nebula

I have something to ask here, before upload:

You are installing the example config.yml into /etc right?

I feel being an example file, it really should be installed as an example, i.e. d/example
Installing something in /etc/ would essentially mean that it is a "default" config file
	- It does not look like a good default, since it seems to bind via ports, assumes users and groups, etc
	- It also sources things from /etc/nebula/*.crt -- and these things will not be installed when installing the package
	- Hence, the systemd service will fail at start unless user manually fixes all of it and starts the service

Can you make a saner default (i.e. config.yml for nebula)?
If not, it might be better to remove this altogether and install as example instead, and leave the onus on user to set it up

Or, you could write a maintainer script to ask these questions during installation and make a sane default config.yml

Uploaded this, with a few changes.

* You removed vectors.txt in d/rules, however that'd make autopkgtests fail because it wouldn't be able to
find that in an installed package
* Minor fix in copyright

All changes pushed to salsa, please take a look

For this one, it looks like a fork of https://github.com/deathowl/go-metrics-prometheus
and the original repo looks more frequently updated. Would it not be possible to package the original and patch out the import paths?

If not, will it not be possible to merge changes into the original repo?
IMO, packaging fork is suboptimal, unless the original one is abandoned and/or unmaintained and someone is willing to maintain fork long time
which doesn't seem to be the case here.

It seems like you opened 2 ITPs for this one by mistake, I reopened both and forcemerged them

Also, do I need to reply to you and CC the list everytime, or are you already subscribed and I simply reply to the list?
