I think that it is improperly marked as %config. It should not be touched upon by the user, and should be solely under the upstream or packagers control. It should be, in my opinion, marked as %ghost %verify(not size mtime md5) That being said you are entitled to change that file as a packager in a post-install script, however * you should make sure that the change is reverted if your package is removed. * you should be very very careful, since this kind of change can easily mess the system. It should be safe to be applied whatever the order of package install (as constrained by the Requires), and it should not output anything except in very rare cases. Also if the change can be left in the file, it would even be better to patch it in telive-texmf. -- Pat -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
