I second this. As an administrator of a large network, there are a number of applications started from /etc/xdg/autostart that I wish I could disable by default. Deji, any objection if I incorporate this patch? Gerd, did you really only want %config or %config(noreplace) ? (the latter seems to be closer to what you want) I'm sorry for taking a long time to respond to this bug. I have now applied the change to F17, F18 and rawhide. Thanks to gerd and Rex for the patch. tracker-0.14.2-3.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tracker-0.14.2-3.fc17 tracker-0.14.2-4.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tracker-0.14.2-4.fc18 Package tracker-0.14.2-3.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Created attachment 599778 [details] proposed patch to the .spec Description of problem: Currently the files in /etc/xdg/autostart owned by tracker are defined as regular files in the .spec. Now I modify these files to provide system-wide defaults better fitting for my users. When an updated version of tracker is released and I update the rpm, the rpm will overwrite my modifications without backup or anything. If the files are tagged with %config instead, rpm will not overwrite them (but provide updated versions with .rpmnew suffix). Other packages which provide autostart files (e.g. pulseaudio) also tag theirs as %config.
