I tend to call that intention at least questionable, but even when accepting your point of view, the problem remains that at the moment there is NO way to update the config file with any fink command, besides a fink --force purge, which also removes all dependencies. What is your argument against the option with a dialogue in the case of a REINSTALL? --- ** [feature-requests:#245] Replacement/Update of ConfFiles** **Status:** open **Group:** **Created:** Sun Mar 05, 2017 03:04 PM UTC by K.-M. Schindler **Last Updated:** Sun Mar 05, 2017 03:14 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody Files listed in the field ConfFiles do not get replaced in newer versions / revisions of a package. The only way is a purge, install sequence, which is a pain, when there is a large number of dependences. My suggestions is that with install or update there is a dialogue about which version to take similar to the one, when such a file has been changed manually, and with reinstall the file is replaced without dialogue. --- Sent from sourceforge.net because [email protected] is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/feature-requests/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/admin/feature-requests/options.
