Hi,
Should configs files of a package be patched to have settings that make it work more or less out of the box (as far as possible, some setting like DB access etc. just can't be filled in in advance)?
I came across a package that defines to use "nogroup" in its config file as effective group (Fedora has no "nogroup", but has group "nobody") and defines to put a pid file in /var/run (which fails, as it appears to do that as nobody/nobody when running).
Should this config file have been patched to use "nobody" as group and should the package (for example) include a package-specific directory below /var/run to put its own pid file in (and patch the config file to use this directory for pid files)?
Just wondering if it is worth filing bugs against this package because of the above (easy to solve) issues...
Cheers,
