Attila Sasvari commented on KAFKA-7159:
---------------------------------------
- Are you sure you filed the JIRA to the proper project? There is no code
matching '%files' in apache/kafka -
https://github.com/apache/kafka/search?q=%25files&unscoped_q=%25files
- However, Apache Bigtop has some code for packaging kafka, but it was not
updated for a while:
https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/bigtop-packages/src/rpm/kafka/SPECS/kafka.spec
- {{confluent-kafka RPM SPEC}} indicates you might have wanted to report this
to Confluent
> mark configuration files in confluent-kafka RPM SPEC file

> Key: KAFKA-7159
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7159
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: packaging
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Environment: RHEL7
> Reporter: Robert Fabisiak
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: rpm
>
> All configuration files in kafka RPM SPEC file should be marked with %config
> prefix in %files section.
> This would prevent overwrites during install/upgrade and uninstall operations
> [https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html-single/rpm_packaging_guide/index#files]
> It's especially important to save configuration during package upgrades.
> Section to change in SPEC file:
> {code:java}
> %files
> %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/kafka/*.conf
> %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/kafka/*.properties
> {code}
> It would also be good to mark documentation files with %doc
