Description giulix 2011-02-03 15:13:47 UTC 
Description of problem: Updating from mediatomb-0.12.1-3.fc13.i686.rpm to mediatomb-0.12.1-4.fc14.i686.rpm overwrites important configuration file /usr/share/mediatomb/js/import.js

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.12.1-4

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install version 0.12.1-3
2. Amend MT_INTERFACE in /etc/mediatomb.conf
3. Start and stop mediatomb service to create config files and DB
   in /etc/mediatomb
4. Configure <virtual-layout type="js"> in /etc/mediatomb/config.xml
5. Modify /usr/share/mediatomb/js/import.js
6. Update mediatomb to version 0.12.1-4
  
Actual results:

/usr/share/mediatomb/js/import.js gets overwritten

Expected results:

/usr/share/mediatomb/js/import.js is preserved if it has been modified by the system administrator, as it may contain the media objects import strategy for mediatomb

Thanks for the report!

I've changed js/import.js to a %config(noreplace) file in Rawhide.  I will change it in F13/14 the next time I need to make an update.

Thanks!

Actually, by R'ingTFM in more detail, I learned that _all_ files in /usr/share/mediatomb/js can be customized by the system administrator. So, it's probably more appropriate to add a $config(noreplace) clause for all of them (if there's not a specific clause to mark an entire directory). They are:
import.js
playlists.js
common.js

Tested and it works
Comment 5 Rich Mattes 2012-01-25 13:57:12 UTC 
This has been fixed in F15+: import.js, playlists.js, and common.js are all marked as %config(norepalce).  Closing.
