Hi.
Two thoughts about the config files:
1) Example configuration as in /etc/zookeeper/conf_example
should typically go to /usr/share/doc/<package>/examples
At least that what's basically all other packages do.
2) If you consider this however default configuration, it should
either go to /usr/share/zookeper/somewhere or so, and symlinked
from there... or be directly copied (from there or
/u/s/d/<package>/examples) to /etc/zookeeper in postinst.
Or altnerative, be handled as conffiles an just directly placed
in /etc/zookeeper.
3) Using update-alternatives for config is at least uncommon, I think.
And it doesn't seem to make much sense, does it?
When should one have different config set *per host* that admins
want to switch?
And there is no real documentation about it, or is there? I had
to look up the postinst file just to fine out the u-a group name
to be zookeeper-conf.
Cheers,
Chris.
