Description Valentin Heidelberger

2018-07-20 13:46:57 CEST

It's currently not possible to use UCR info files such as univention-config-registry without the package's name in front:

<package>.univention-config-registry

It would be nice to be able to simply name a file "univention-config-registry" without the need for the package's name. Especially since this is also possible with standard debian files such as postinst.


Simple use case:

Multiple packages with different names are built from one single source package but they all shall use the same ucr info files. Currently one has to create identical copies of the file for every single package with it's specific name and maintain changes in that file across all the other copies.

source-pkg/debian/
    ...
    univention-config-registry
    postinst
    ...

instead of:

source-pkg/debian/
    ...
    pkg1.univention-config-registry
    pkg2.univention-config-registry
    postinst
    ...



If this is implemented in the future, docs need to be adjusted at least here: https://docs.software-univention.de/developer-reference-4.3.html#ucr:conf

It's also not possible to use the name of the source package in the file name, by the way
