Description Michal Schmidt 2017-10-26 13:44:17 UTC
Description of problem:
The alsa-plugins-* packages ship files under /usr marked as config files. This is against the Fedora Packaging Guidelines[1]:
  Don't use %config or %config(noreplace) under /usr. /usr is deemed to not
  contain configuration files in Fedora. 

[1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Configuration_files

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.1.4-1.fc26.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qc alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
2.
3.

Actual results:
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf

Expected results:
Files under /usr should not be config files.
It should be possible for the administrator to override files under /usr with files under /etc. (Maybe it already is. I don't know.)
