Title: yum upgrade always trashes my configuration.properties file
Post by: mrunkel on October 10, 2009, 20:25:47

it would be nice if the yum update process copied my configuration.properties file over to the new directory, and didn't delete my old configuration.properties file.

Everytime I upgrade I end up having to reconfigure the darn thing.

Also, every single time, it creates a web.xml.ORIG file which is the same as web.xml, but doesn't include my license.  Luckily, it doesn't delete the web.xml file from the old installation.

I agree. It would be better if there was some "local" configuration file where you only put your changes, plus a "default" that is not to be touched. At the moment we always overwrite the default file so that new options are visible.
