Is there any way to get the functionality of the %config RPM directive using python distutils?
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-files-list-directives.html %config /etc/foonly This will save the current file as fooonly.rpmsave if the file is different from the one in the package, so users can prevent their changes from being lost. I looked at the distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py, it supports creation of the %files keyword, but I did not see anything about %config, presumably because distutils does not support that "config file install" concept of RPM? Is there any other way to get this done using distutils, for a setup.py that installs a python script (not a module)? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
