Created attachment 705245 [details] whitelist certain subdirectories in /etc/ as acontaining files that shouldn't be marked %config Description of problem: Certain files in /etc/ should not be marked config. Perhaps we could add a regex to specify a whitelist of such files? I'll attach a patch as a proof of concept.
It's better to filter these out in a config file instead of patching the code, see e.g. the existing addFilter()'s in /usr/share/rpmlint/config.
