From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021203 Description of problem: Installing the recently released errata packages for vim, overwrote the system wide config file /usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/vimrc without any notice. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): -6.1-18.8x.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make mods to /usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/vimrc and save them 2.rpm -Uvh vim*-6.1-18.8x.1*.rpm 3.Look for your modifications in /usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/vimrc and see how they have been wiped out :-( Actual Results: Config file will be silently overwritten, no vimrc.rpmsave is created. Expected Results: The file should have been installed either as /usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/vimrc.rpmnew, or the existing one should have been renamed to /usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/vimrc.rpmsave Additional info: FWIW, the man page talks about /usr/share/vim/vimrc being the system wide config file, but strace'ing vim shows that that's not the case; so, the man page needs update'ing, too.
