It depends. webapp-config is designed to keep a pristine copy in /usr/share/webapps/$PN/$PV/ so when you write "its install directory" I'm not sure which one you mean. Is it that one in /usr/share OR is it the directory, likely withinin /var/www/, that the cli invocation of webapp-config placed it's files? If the latter, then it's a bug. webapp-config is supposed to keep track of modified files across multiple installations of the same webapp, even differing versions of the same webapp. If it's not doing that, its a bug in webapp-config. I'm adding blueness@g.o to CC since he is working on this package some. Thanks, Matt Matthew Summers Gentoo Foundation Inc. GPG: 111B C438 35FA EDB5 B5D3 736F 45EE 5DC0 0878 9D46
