omniORB default configuration file

Description

Hi,

In middleware/omniORB/Makefile:57, the sample.cfg file is installed in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/omniORB/. Is there a reason not to install it directly in $OMNIORB_ETCDIR ?

Ubuntu's version provides a functional configuration file by default without requiring any user's action, so this is misleading when they switch to robotpkg's deb:

Best,
Guilhem.

Is the default sample.cfg OK?

Ubuntu does

Is it needed?

I just checked, and it is. This might explain why I had issues with Arch… Thanks for noticing !

One issue with automatically putting files in etc/ is that `apt
install` seems to happily overwrite any custom user file here, and
`apt purge` will just delete the file even if it was modified.

This is not a desired behaviour for user configuration files ...
