I'm talking short-term here: we'll support this extra stuff later on, but for now I'm trying to minimise the ways in which it can be broken in subtle ways. If a user does this sort of thing, I'd rather it breaks loudly and everyone knows that's what they did and they are on their own. Actually, that 'configuration file' isn't actually marked as a conffile in your .debs - I discovered that yesterday ;) > > The only reason for running manually at the moment, is so that the > > Java home can be specified instead of being none, and I'd rather we > > solve that automatically, too. > > That can be done by changing the configuration file, too. Yep, but if a user fiddles there they're starting to do 'more advanced' stuff anyway and will hopefully report that if they want something fixed. I'm just trying to keep this setup stuff really simple until it's fixed in a better way. Parsing .sversionrc and fixing nothing else adds more potential for stuff to break in subtle ways, so I'd rather not until it's done well. > Oh, thought you mentioned something you filed upstream...
