Could you write a postinstall scriptlet to do this? Install your specific files in /usr/share/your_package/*, and in the post-install scriptlet, mv -f /etc/ntp.conf /etc/ntp.conf.rpmsave || true cp /usr/share/your_package/ntp.conf /etc/ntp.conf mv -f /etc/ntp/step-tickers /etc/ntp/step-tickers.rpmsave || true cp /usr/share/your_package/step-tickers /etc/ntp/step-tickers -Enrique _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
