Summary

0005539: rpm: install new config files as file.rpmnew

Description

rep by: Khalid Hosein

In case this wasn't intentional, could you re-config the RPM so that it doesn't rename existing config file (e.g. resin.xml, resin.properties, etc.) upon an upgrade? What would be preferable (and this would be the most common case) is to install the 'new' config files as file.rpmnew.

I'm not an RPM expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that almost every file in the RPM has marked as a config file. Try this:
rpm -qcv -p resin-pro-4.0.37-1.x86_64.rpm

If you compare a package like Apache, you'll find only a handful of them marked as config files:
rpm -qcv -p ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/centos/6.4/updates/x86_64/Packages/httpd-2.2.15-29.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm [^]
