Why do Red Hat Software Collections packages contain duplicated files?

Issue

Some Red Hat Software Collections packages contain duplicated files with the same content.

For example, the rh-php70-php-common package contains the following two files.

  • /opt/rh/rh-php70/register.content/etc/opt/rh/rh-php70/php.ini
  • /etc/opt/rh/rh-php70/php.ini

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (any version)
  • Red Hat Software Collections (any version)
