[Bug 538546] [NEW] please move /etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts to /usr/lib/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts

[Dustin Kirkland]

Public bug reported:

The eucalyptus-java-common package install /etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d.

The upstream eucalyptus build puts some groovy scripts in
/etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts.

This is causing issues with the 1.6.2 upgrade procedure.

First, scripts really shouldn't be installed in /etc.  /etc should
really only contain configuration information that an Administrator or
distro might need to edit.

Because these are installed in /etc, they're not placed there by the
debian packaging until after unpack time, in the postinst.

The euca_upgrade script runs during the eucalyptus-common.postinst, and
euca_upgrade actually needs to run
/etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts/Import_162.groovy.  But this won't exist
yet, and hence the upgrade won't happen.

I have a really, really, really gross, hopefully temporary hack in
debian/rules, that moves the /etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts to
/usr/lib/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts, and then symlinks it back to
/etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts.

Please, upstream, if possible, change your build process to install
these scripts here in /usr/lib/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts rather than
/etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts.  You're welcome to symlink it back to
/etc/eucalyptus/cloud.d/scripts if that ensures a minimal diff and other
callers can continue finding these scripts there.

Thanks,
:-Dustin
