Been using FreeRadius 3 deb compiled packages for a while here. At first I installed them locally and had no problem; however when doing the upgrade from a repository, the upgrades always overwrite my eap file in /etc/freeradius/mods-enabled with the original file.
In the modules directory I am doing links to the files I have not modified, and I have the full files when modifying them.
Is this intended behaviour or should I leave only links in mods-enabled and do full modifications in mods-available? (will also test this situation in my next upgrade)
I think the problem is that symlinks are not considered as conffiles (which are not overridden on upgrade). So if you run debsums -e freeradius-config | grep mods-enabled, you wonn't match anything. However freeradius doesn't declare conffiles, so this might just work after all.
