Summary: Review Request: asterisk - The Open Source PBX https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178922 ------- Additional Comments From che666@xxxxxxxxx 2006-01-26 10:14 EST ------- > lets assume we go ahead various versions of asterisk... and how high do you > eval the chance the the old config will be broken in newer releases? in my eyes > if they werent changed by the user they should really be replaced by the new > versions default configs. i am not sure if theres a policy regarding that or > not. %config(noreplace) does not mean that unedited config files will not be replaced - they will. The difference in behaviour between %config and %config(noreplace) comes in when the user has edited the config file. With %config, the user's edited file will be renamed to file.rpmsave and the new package's config file will take its place. With %config(noreplace), the user's edited file will be left alone and the new package's file will be installed as file.rpmnew. %config(noreplace) should generally be used for config files unless there's a good reason not to use (noreplace). well(In reply to comment #9) > (In reply to comment #8) > > lets assume we go ahead various versions of asterisk... and how high do you > > eval the chance the the old config will be broken in newer releases? in my eyes > > if they werent changed by the user they should really be replaced by the new > > versions default configs. i am not sure if theres a policy regarding that or > > not. > %config(noreplace) does not mean that unedited config files will not be replaced > - they will.
