Well, I guess no one is happy with either dumping unused configs into a nicely cleaned up folder, nor with having to make them as needed. How about a flag to change the behavior? I have only a few config files. Every update to asterisk, I get a new batch of the full complement. Which means rm ./* and restore from backup. So I just wrapped the install routines with a use flag. I'll attach the diff. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. clean up /etc/asterisk to remove unused config files 2. re-install Actual Results: would be nice to have only those files I want in there, but all that cruft returns. Expected Results: Just forget the new config files, which are basically the documentation for the options anyway. yeah, so here's some of what happened with my patch: --- !mtime obj /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf --- !found obj /etc/asterisk/asterisk.adsi --- !mtime obj /etc/asterisk/amd.conf --- !mtime obj /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf --- !found obj /etc/asterisk/alarmreceiver.conf --- !found obj /etc/asterisk/ais.conf --- !found obj /etc/asterisk/agents.conf --- !found obj /etc/asterisk/adtranvofr.conf --- !found obj /etc/asterisk/adsi.conf IDK what is throwing that, but probably is not a problem. The build doesn't fail anyway. Diff to ebuild coming.
Created attachment 219817 [details, diff] this just wraps the config installation with if noconfigs .. else
This behaviour will now cease if the samples USE-flag (which defaults to on) is unset. /etc/asterisk will not be touched any longer. This avoids adding new USE-flags, and also avoids the use of "no" USE-flags which has been discouraged for a long time.
