No problem, let's grab it as is. There could be more changes coming. |
It is a problem actually: It makes it harder to revert only the relevant |

This reverts commit 5d0822c and later commits that touch the same files (which is necessary in order to revert the commit in question). There seems to be a non-trivial amount of changes done in error in the big refactor from commit 5d0822c ("private-etc: big profile changes", 2023-02-05). For example, there are profiles for CLI programs (including man.profile) and servers that now contain the @X11 group: $ git grep -l '^private-etc .*@X11' -- etc # [...] etc/profile-a-l/email-common.profile:private-etc @tls-ca,@X11,gnupg,hosts.conf,mailname,timezone etc/profile-m-z/man.profile:private-etc @X11,groff,man_db.conf,manpath.config,sysless etc/profile-m-z/mutt.profile:private-etc @tls-ca,@X11,Mutt,Muttrc,Muttrc.d,gai.conf,gnupg,gnutls,hosts.conf,mail,mailname,nntpserver,terminfo etc/profile-m-z/neomutt.profile:private-etc @tls-ca,@X11,Mutt,Muttrc,Muttrc.d,gnupg,hosts.conf,mail,mailname,neomuttrc,neomuttrc.d,nntpserver etc/profile-m-z/nextcloud.profile:private-etc @tls-ca,@X11,Nextcloud,host.conf,os-release etc/profile-m-z/nodejs-common.profile:private-etc @tls-ca,@X11,host.conf,mime.types,rpc,services Note: These are just the ones that I immediately noticed; it is possible that there are many that I missed. Part of the issue is that the groups appear to be inconsistent and rather broad. For exmaple, paths related to 3D graphics (vulkan) and audio (openal) are in the @games group, which are not used only by games and not all games use those standards/libraries. As another example, the @X11 group contains paths related to GTK, KDE and GPU hardware acceleration, even though those are not necessarily tied to X11 (and even though hardware acceleration may be used by headless programs). Replacing the known paths with groups that are not very granular results in loss of information about what exactly a profile actually needs and so makes the profiles less self-documenting. Note also that a given path could potentially belong to multiple groups, which would preclude using the "etc-cleanup" tool (in its current form at least), as it would not know which is the correct group to replace the path with. Command used to revert the changes: $ git revert \ 1be9bb3 \ e889db0 \ e6f2374 \ acb0154 \ 740f502 \ 5649bd4 \ 2e4e9d1 \ 0f996ea \ 5d0822c Note: This reverts commits from PRs netblue30#5641 netblue30#5642 netblue30#5643, most of which are later re-applied. Relates to netblue30#5610.
