Bug ID: 24913
Summary: /etc/ld.so.preload.d drop-in configuration folder
support
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: adrelanos at riseup dot net
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
File /etc/ld.so.preload can be used to preload shard objects but there is no
/etc/ld.so.preload.d drop-in configuration folder supported yet.
Modifying /etc/ld.so.preload directly is appropriate for system administrators
but not for linux distributions. A configuration file can only be owned by one
package at the same time. A package that shipped a /etc/ld.so.preload file
might overwrite the local system administator's changes.
Therefore as you may know many applications support configuration drop-in
folders. Examples are /etc/default/grub.d /etc/grub.d /etc/profile.d
/etc/X11/Xsession.d and many more.
Could you please add a new feature to parse /etc/ld.so.preload.d for
configuration snippets?
