Description

I'm curious, why do you think these directories should be created and why is it important for the package to own them? I think that autofs brings that functionality by default, so it would be interesting to have the directories created in the installation. Those directories only have sense with autofs installed, so it should own them. The opposite thinking is that the config is only an example, so, maybe it should be commented out. What do you think? is this something already discussed?

That's right but I think that the hosts map entry is actually used as installed by some people. The auto.misc is a different case though. It doesn't really represent the target usage of autofs but it is an example of an indirect mount map. Removable media is better handled by by other means. > > What do you think? is this something already discussed? Personally I think /misc should be commented out and only /net added to the files list, along with a comment in auto.master above /misc that says it's an example only. Also, there's no example of a direct map at all. Ian This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
