RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Kacur 2013-08-20 13:21:01 UTC 
Description of problem: rpmlint noarch/tuna-0.11-2.el7.noarch.rpm
produces the following warnings
tuna.noarch: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/tuna.conf
tuna.noarch: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/tuna/example.conf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in dist-git do rhpkg local
2. rpmlint noarch/tuna-0.11-2.el7.noarch.rpm

This warning is a false positive, since the files are actually conf files.
This warning can be suppressed my marking the conf files in the spec as
%config(noreplace) or %config appropriately.
Comment 1 John Kacur 2013-08-20 13:23:01 UTC 
The following patch will fix the problem

From 10d88f69108f08c4ab324a51f6e445c8a7856439 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: John Kacur <jkacur>
Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 22:28:01 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] spec: Mark configuration files with %config

Explicitly declaring configuration files as such, prevents rpmlint
from falsely complaining that non-configuration files are being installed
in /etc
