Feature changed by: Richard Brown (RBrownCCB) Feature #314816, revision 3 Title: Notify user of rpmnew and rpmsav config files openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Richard Brown (rbrownccb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: - Details to be added... + When packages are installed with new/restyled configuration files, they + generate .rpmnew or .rpmsave files to ensure the changes don't clash + with existing system configurations + The theory is, a sysadmin can then visit the files, assess the changes, + and merge those changes with their existing files + It would be great if we could get Zypper (and therefore YaST) to track + those situations and at least inform the user that they have files to + review. + zypper.log shows that libzypp is already aware of when rpmnew and + rpmsave files are being crated, so it should be possible to capture + those and inform the user at the end of any zypper or YaST package + install + Taking the idea to a next step, tools to help/automate the merging + might be a nice feature once this has been accomplished. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314816
