I\'m playing around with the rpm -upgrade command and noticed rpm has different ways of handling modified configuration files so it doesn\'t get lost during the upgrade. From wh
This is the intended behaviour. If you want the configuration file to never get overwritten (and moved to .rpmsave), use %config(noreplace)
instead of %config
in the rpm .spec file, and the file won't be replaced. Instead, the new file from the rpm package will get created as .rpmnew, and the one there is left alone.
