Whether it was present in the old package doesn't matter - the file doesn't even have to be %config in it, all that counts on upgrades is what's in the new package. But note also that if the file installed from the old package is unmodified at time of upgrade (again no matter if it's config at all, or config with or without noreplace), it will be silently replaced with no .rpm* backups left behind on upgrade no matter whether the config file in the new package is noreplace or not. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
