[Bug locale/22357] New: iconv configuration file in /usr

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22357

            Bug ID: 22357
           Summary: iconv configuration file in /usr
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.27
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: locale
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The gconv-modules configuration file is currently, and by default, installed
into /usr, normally /usr/lib[64]/gconv/, and along with the gconv DSO
converters.

We should not be placing configuration data in /usr. Is there any reason we
don't move this file to /etc? In /etc it would be well identified as a
configuration file and more easily supported by underlying distro tools.

I will file a distinct bug for moving gconv-modules.cache and ld.so.cache.
