No, .local files are never overwritten.
You create that file, you control what is there.
No I mean bashrc will be overwritten if I change it. Adding a .local doesn't allow me to change bashrc, only to add to it. Unless I can add code which undoes what has already been done.
No, neither. Not exactly. When a new bash.rpm is installed, one of these two things can happen: - the old config files remain intact, and the new file in the rpm gets named something.rpmnew. - the old config file gets renamed something.rpmorig (I think), and the new config in the rpm gets applied. In both cases you get both files and a chance to choose what to do. The script "rcrpmconfigcheck" gives you the list of pending config files to study. You can use "meld" to edit both files in comparison. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
