Hello,
is there a way to make rpm not remove config files during package upgrade?
For example, I marked some foo file as configuration (%config foo). When

What I want is that foo from package would be put as foo.new and foo on

Is it possible to do this with rpm tools? Or I have to write some postinstall

Use "%config(noreplace) foo".
On another note:
Is there a similar option to %config that also leaves the file in
place upon uninstall, e.g "%config(preserve)"?
