bdist_rpm: spec file: %config
I've been looking at the spec file that 'bdist_rpm' generates and I do not see a %config or %config(noreplace) section. Is there a way to generate a %config section and specify a list of files? This is important so that config files do not get overwritten when using 'rpm -U'.

Looking at the code, I don't see such option, please fill a feature request in http://bugs.python.org/ selecting 'Distutils' as a component, (with a sample of such a spec file if possible) Thanks

Ok, I found a way to use %config like this: In setup.cfg define a line: install_script=install.txt In the file 'install.txt' I put this: --------------------------------------------------- CONFIGFILES="\ %config(noreplace) /etc/myconfigfile.cfg" echo "$CONFIGFILES" | cat INSTALLED_FILES - > INSTALLED_FILES.new mv INSTALLED_FILES.new INSTALLED_FILES --------------------------------------------------- Make sure your config file is added to the filelist fed to 'setup()' by setup.py And this works.
