If you had changed a configuration file, it would keep that, and you'd either compare it with the new one and see if you you wanted to keep your changes and merge them into the new one, keep your old config, or swap over to the new one. If you hadn't customised your configuration file, it's kind of the same. You'd compare the old versus new, see if the new one would change the way things behaved, decide whether you're happy with that, or wanted things to carry on as before. Then, stick with the old, switch to the new, or merge the old settings into the new one. If you can't see any tangible differences between old and new configuration files, then there's a reasonable argument to switch over to the new one, so it's the version designed to go with the current version of whatever program it configures. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
