Thank you for your bug report. This has been fixed in mailman-2.1.5-15 which is slated for release in FC3 and RHEL4. All files below the templates directory have been marked in the spec file as %config(noreplace) and documentation added to /usr/share/doc/mailman-*/INSTALL.REDHAT Opps, closed it with the wrong status of WONT FIX, should have been RAWHIDE. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 Description of problem: After upgrading mailman, customized templates have been overwritten with default templates. The originals were not saved in .rpmsave files. Preferably, the replacement templates should be in .rpmnew files and the modified templates unaltered. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailman-2.1.4-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install mailman 2.Modify a template (masthead.txt, for example) 3.Upgrade mailman Actual Results: Customized templates destroyed. Expected Results: .rpmnew files created for modified templates. Additional info: The problem is that with automatic maintenance, the files are destroyed before a change may be noticed. As a result, mailman can send out incorrect (or undesired) information before the problem can be corrected.
