I speak to quickly, piranha 0.8.2 (RHEL4) do not
overwrite /etc/init.d/* but 0.8.4 (RHEL5) actually do
it (line 83 of piranha.spec)

there was a change in the piranha.spec file between
the two versions

looking into the way piranha is package, I think a
patch to implement an startup config file in
/etc/sysconfig/ is a litle more complex than what I
think at the first place because:
1- create the /etc/sysconfig/pulse prototype file in
the piranha package
2- modify the Makefile of the package to install this
file in the proper place with the proper name
3- repackage the tar.gz
4- modify the spec.file to include the new file in the
"file" section
5- repackage the rpm

not dificult but "lot" of work and not so important
patch so, I guess, this will not be a priority for
redhat ...

will you appreciate a patch for all this ? I can do
it, in fact I will, again rhel5 version

thanks
roger
