Bug Description

Scripts change it.

The sysadmin can customize it.

Package upgrades are messy.

We need a cleaner method of configuration inheritance/override.

eucalyptus (1.6.2~bzr1120-0ubuntu7) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Thierry Carrez ]
  * debian/eucalyptus-sc.config: Ask for cluster name on SC-only installs
    (LP: #497831)

  [ Dustin Kirkland ]
  * debian/eucalyptus-common.install, debian/eucalyptus-common.manpages,
    debian/eucalyptus-common.postinst, debian/eucalyptus-common.preinst,
    debian/eucalyptus-defaults.conf, debian/eucalyptus-nc.postinst,
    debian/eucalyptus.conf, tools/euca_conf.8, tools/euca_conf.in:
    - Massive rework fixing LP: #487275, improving the conffile handling
      of eucalyptus.conf and euca_conf
      + create /usr/share/eucalyptus/eucalyptus-defaults.conf,
        which contains generic, distro defaults
      + first source /usr/share/eucalyptus/eucalyptus-defaults.conf,
        in eucalyptus.conf
      + next source /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus-local.conf, in
        eucalyptus.conf, containing site-specific customizations
      + finally, allow for admin customizations at the bottom of
        eucalyptus.conf
      + move euca_conf.1 to euca_conf.8, and actually install it,
        LP: #458211
      + fix tools/euca_conf.in to use $FILE instead of eucalyptus.conf
      + have tools/euca_conf.in write to eucalyptus-local.conf
      + drop serveral postinst calls to euca_conf, now that these
        defaults are set/sourced in eucalyptus-defaults.conf
      + maintainer script fixes seeding eucalyptus-local.conf on new
        installs, moving existing eucalyptus.conf data to
        eucalyptus-local.conf on upgrades
  * debian/eucalyptus-common.links, debian/eucalyptus-common.manpages,
    tools/eucalyptus.conf.5: move most of the inline documentation from
    eucalyptus.conf to a manpage, LP: #458211
