Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install munin and munin-node. 2. Make changes to the system, like removing a symlink in /etc/munin/plugins/. 3. Update the munin packages, the symlink will be re-created. Actual results: A modified munin configuration is partially reset to that of a new install on a package update. Expected results: A modified system should retain the existing configuration changes after an update, in this case leaving removed plugins removed. Additional info: The munin package doesn't have the functionality to exclude package-provided plugins in any other method aside from making sure that they don't appear in /etc/munin/plugins/. The %post script in the spec file always runs /usr/sbin/munin-node-configure, but this should only be run after an install, not an update. For instance, maybe replacing the munin-node-configure command with the following: if [ "$1" = "1" ]; then /usr/sbin/munin-node-configure --shell 2> /dev/null | sh >& /dev/null || : fi
Yeah, the only downside to that is that on new version bumps it won't get you new spiffy plugins that would otherwise be autodetected. I guess possibly the way to do things would be use this scriptlet for minor changes and for major version changes to the total reconfig that it currently does.
Thinking about it more, that idea isn't going to work either, as we can't know what version people are upgrading from easily. ;( So, that leaves us with: A. We could keep running munin-node-configure on updates, and local modifications will be lost. B. We could only run it on installs, but then you miss out on new plugins. I guess B is probibly the better course, since we don't want to loose user config data. ;( I have just checked in such a change in rawhide. Would like to let it cook for a few days there, then update 12/11/el5/el4.
