Configure files and scripts may be over written when updating packages with rpm.
For example, if updating base-files with a new version of rpm, the file /etc/nsswitch.conf which is created by base-files will be substituted by a new file. This is not what we want since our config files may be lost after updating. A resolution is to revise spec file of rpm and put %config before config files like "%config /etc/nsswitch.conf". Theoretically all editable files created by rpm packages should be protected with "%config". But currently we only concern about the following packages: base-files initscripts logrotate lvm2 libpam nfs-utils -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
