As I understand the process etc-update lists new configuration files |
| 2 |
provided by the program authors. I have tried to define some rules for |
| 3 |
myself to determine how to handle these new files. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
1. If I made a change to a file I will never allow the new config file |
| 6 |
to overwrite the old file. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
2. If the new config file is a new default file I will accept the new file. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
3. I will never change a file that is program code, (I am not a programmer). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Are these rules sane? What kind of problems could I run into doing this? |
| 13 |
What would be some better rules to use? I have tried dispatch-conf but I |
| 14 |
still have to make the same decisions. Am I missing something? |
| 15 |

Thanks for any advice. |
