[OSR-devel] File Clobber on Update

[Gordan B. <go...@bo...>]

Would it be possible to make the RPMs (at least the ones in preview) tag
the files in /opt/atix/comoonics-bootimage with "noreplace"? At the moment,
just running "yum update" can be a bit dicey since it'll just clobber any
changes that might already be there. I can understand that this might be
desirable in the stable repository (otherwise files could become mutually
incompatible), but with preview this is, IMO, counter-productive as those
of us who live on the bleeding edge sometimes have to apply some ad-hoc
patches that may or may not have made it "upstream". Luckily this time I
had my changes backed up to the list archive :^), but it'd be nice to not
have to worry about it.

Does this sound reasonable? Or have I not thought this through properly?

Thanks.
