Is there a general policy of how /etc/profile.d/ scripts should be
installed? Should they be indiscriminately untarred overtop of any
pre-existing version of the scripts in /etc/profile.d/, or should they
be installed via a post-install script?
If post-install scripts are the preferred method, would someone
(probably Jehan) care to make a post-install script for XFree86-bin that
is based off the post-install script for another package that installs
profile.d scripts?
For now, I have on my system two packages using profile.d scripts
(openssl and tcsh). Both of them just have the scripts in the list of
files to install (using "tar tvfj package.tar.bz2"). So I don't think
they use any post-install script.
