If you want something other / more than a caching-only nameserver, then don't install the caching-nameserver package . The caching-nameserver package consists entirely of named configuration files to provide a caching-only nameserver. If it installed the named configuration files as '%config(noreplace)', then there would be no way for it to guarantee that after installation, a caching-only nameserver was in place, nor any way for it to be updated. Other packages are now depending on caching-nameserver to install the configuration files for a caching-only nameserver. As you found, caching-nameserver does correctly back up any existing configuration files to .rpmsave files, and no data is lost. In future releases, perhaps we should package the current caching-nameserver as a sub-package of bind as a 'bind-default-config' package, which would install the configuration files as '%config(noreplace)' - but we'd still have to ship the caching-nameserver package to replace the configuration files, so that users / other packages can depend on it to install a caching-only nameserver, regardless of the current named configuration . |
