Drop-in directory for initialization scripts companion to /rw/config/rc.local

[ben-grande]

How to file a helpful issue

The problem you're addressing (if any)

Currently when orchestrating QubesOS deployment, most files I change are intended for packages as they have drop-in configuration directory, /etc/qubes/policy.d/*.policy, /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.(sources|list), including /rw/config/qubes-bind-dirs.d/*.conf, but /rw/config/rc.local does not have an equivalent.

When orchestrating qubes deployment, initialization calls have to be written to /rw/config/rc.local, but the file can't be replaced, because there is a possibility of having user modifications in it on multiple packages managing the same file.

Currently I am using Salt module file.append for rc.local, the only file that I am currently using this module in all my states is rc.local.

The solution you'd like

I know I can create my own sourcing mechanism in rc.local

for f in /rw/config/rc.local.d/*.conf
  test -r "$f" || continue
  . "$f"
done

But it would be much better if this was the upstream default for packagers to not mess with user configuration.

The value to a user, and who that user might be

The value to a user is not having their configuration overriden by a packages.

The value to a packager is not having to mess with user configuratio, with an easy drop-in configuration to apply at qube boot.

Although no dicsussion was made about it, not in favor or opposing to it, it follows the same methods used in for parsing qubes-firewall.d.

I would like to ask for the label R: self-closed to be removed, it was my mistake it was closed and appears to be an automated action. Also please add pr submitted.
