From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030211 Description of problem: /etc/mail/Makefile frequently contains site-specific rules. Current sendmail RPMs will replace /etc/mail/Makefile on updates, and put the old one in Makefile.rpmsave. This means the administrator has to manually correct the configuration after each update. Instead, /etc/mail/Makefile should be marked as a configuration file, so that a modified file isn't replaced automatically, but the new default is installed as Makefile.rpmnew. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.12.8-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have customized /etc/mail/Makefile 2. Upgrade sendmail via RPM 3. Examine Makefile Actual Results: Makefile replaced; old Makefile in Makefile.rpmsave Expected Results: Makefile intact; new Makefile in Makefile.rpmnew Additional info: Thanks for dealing with the associated problem described in bug 86005.
