Summary: kdebase: /usr/share/config/kdmrc is overwritten by
recast
Product: Codex
Version: test grimoire
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: kde
AssignedTo: sm-grimoire-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org

At least kdmrc and apparently other files in said dir are overwritten by cast
kdebase, which is to say reverted to defaults. I've asked about it at kde
bugzilla, and they say this is intended behavior. But it's a PITA
nevertheless.

At the moment the kdebase spell has kdmrc in configs, but it seems that it's
causing trouble: kdebase doesn't sometimes install correctly but
leaves /usr/share/config/kdm/ partly empty if files there have been modified.
I'm not sure if configs is the reason, though.

Also kdmrc is not tracked properly or protected during recast by sorcery,
with
or without configs entry. Based on the little that I've understood from
conversations on #sourcemage, this is because the files aren't copied by
kdebase but generated during install instead. I can't confirm this with my
tech knowledge, maybe someone can.

Anyway, since the KDE folk have no intention of protecting these config
files,
they're ours to deal with. Either we just make a temp copy of them during
install and copy them back after it's done, or do something on a lower level.
