Preventing yum "update" from overwriting config files?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Last night I performed a bunch of updates on various things that needed
updates... And many of them overwrote my config files! I spent a good many
hours trying to figure out what was overwritten and refix the config files,
because:

A) yum didn¹t report where or if it had overwritten a config file
B) yum overwrote it without asking or even notifying me!

Is there a flag or something undocumented in yum that can tell it inform me
a new config files overwriting older ones?

Or a flag that shows where every file was PUT, so I don¹t have to do the
hunt search routine after every yum update?
