BB Equivalent for %config(noreplace)

BB Equivalent for %config(noreplace)

[Chris Trobridge]

When applying rpm updates generated by yocto, configuration files/directories are overwritten with files from the rpm.

My spec file for generating equivalent native packages with rpmbuild specifies these files with %config(noreplace) so that this overwriting does no occur.

Is it possible to get this information into the rpm files generated by yocto?

Thanks,
Chris

The usual way is to add the configuration files to the CONFFILES variable
in your recipe. This does what you want in a package management system
agnostic way. See [1] for details.
