[opensuse-factory] normal? or bug? renaming config->config.save when no changes
I don't remember this _always_ being the case (occasionally), but not usually. But now 90% of the time I'm seeing ".rpmsave" files that are identical (including date/time) to the ones added. In some cases, I'm 75-80% sure I've made some change, but that change is gone and it's not in the rpmsave file (a few cases, I know it's changed where I keep an RCS dir to manage changes). I thought rpm only saved off rpmsave files when it had a different MD5sum than the original rpm stated? Has that changed or was that a random property of each rpm package or what? I sure preferred the old method of not creating rpmsave files for files that haven't changed only creating rpmsave or similar when there was a user change. What it boils down to is there are 100's of configs, most of which I know nothing about and if they were to change, I wouldn't know if it was good or bad, so I assume good. I'm really only interested where I had to customize something and then something replaces my customized copy. Then I have to look to see if it is still useful or valid...etc.. So...did something change? If it is random, could something change to make the process more regular -- and only create 'old' files when they've been altered -- AND also, if they are different... (have a bunch of rpmsave files in my font dir that are identical to the new ones...)... Simple enough to fix w/a script, but still ... is it possible to not create them in the first place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
