You're quite entitled to be unhappy with a decision. The problem is, the more times you reenforce your arrogant snotty superiority with the members of the mailing list, the less productive things get. Your last comment about how you were waiting for someone to play the "this is open source you ungrateful bastard" card is astonishing. What card would you expect to play against the "I am an entitlist user of your software trolling on the list because you have inadvertently forced me to do some work" card? Just because its spec files doesn't make the process any different. If you found a crash bug, would you get mad because you updated to this broken version or file a JIRA and get it fixed? If you are unhappy with a change, you need to report it to the proper channels and be willing to live with the decisions made to resolve your issue. Frankly, I started this project for me. I have been working on it for 8 years now and we were recently given the opportunity to bring in a dedicated individual to work over those spec files and make them as compliant as possible with all the other angry people complaining about the ones you like. We are not going to pass up this chance to get organized and separate the code into a stable branch with packages that fit in with most environments. I don't even use those packages so I have little concern with where the files go. I learned long ago to try not to let that bother me or every linux distro on earth would put me in the loony bin.

Freeswitch is open source? Really?
You get the prize for being the first to post a “you ungrateful ba***rd” response. Par for the course. Thought it would happen a lot sooner.
So just because it is open source I am not allowed to be unhappy with a bad decision? Ok check.

Dude, I have been trying not to follow this thread but I can't avoid it because it keeps showing up on my mail client over and over again.
Stop bitching and DO SOMETHING. This is open source, not something you've bought or that someone is trying to sell you. Your demanding tone is irritating to say the very least. You don't like that someone changed a few dirs and did not make the work like you expected, then just freaking FIX IT and contribute the solution. None of the developers have time to write documentation and they struggle to keep their day jobs while making it work for the rest of the world as well and you sit on your comfy place complaining that they are not doing enough? WTF?
SwK is 1 person that has been doing the stable branch as well as trying to package freeswitch to several distros, he could definitely use some help instead of aggressiveness and complaints. Contribute and hop in or live with what you have or just leave quiet but DON'T piss on everyones else's work. You want to be disappointed, that's OK, but you gotta earn it first. What have you done for the project so far?
Sorry to the list for my email but everything has its limits and I tend to be nice most of the times.

Did the announcement also say they were getting rid of the conf directory and not bothering to updated directory settings in the default conf files (that are now in the root directory). Do they plan to update all the freeswitch documentation now as well which talks about the conf directory all over the place?
How long ago was this announcement made? The issue is not about being caught off guard btw. It’s about why and how it’s being done.

I believe there was an announcement on this mailing list alerting that the new rpms would be undergoing major changes to include moving the directory locations. Search this list for new threads started by SwK in the past 6 months.
There was indeed an announcement by SwK himself. It was as close to FNLoIP (Flashing Neon Lights over IP) as you can get. -MC
