[Michael Biebl]

Hi Niels,


I was triggered by your latest debhelper announcement.

Thanks a lot for this. When we discussed splitting off the tmpfiles.d
related functionality into its own helper a while back on IRC, I
remember that Ansgar wanted to have debian/foo.tmpfile renamed to
debian/foo.tmpfiles. I agree that he has a point here.
It would make the naming more consistent. After all the mechanism is
uses the term tmpfiles.d and the dh helper is now called dh_installtmpfiles.

If one runs "man tmpfile", you get documentation about the tmpfile()
function call. The relevant man page would be "man tmpfiles.d".

What's your thought here? Should we transition to the name
debian/foo.tmpfiles in compat 13? It would probably be good to keep
support for debian/foo.tmpfile in compat 13 but logging a warning and
making the existentence of a debian/foo.tmpfile a hard error in compat 14?

Or do you think the name is purely cosmetical and changing it now is
just creating busy work?

CCing Ansgar here and the pkg-systemd-maintainers list, in case they
want to chime in here as well.


Regards,
Michael

P.S: This affects 79 packages, shipping 100 tmpfiles. List attached
