As I understand the process etc-update lists new configuration files
provided by the program authors. I have tried to define some rules for
myself to determine how to handle these new files.
1. If I made a change to a file I will never allow the new config file
to overwrite the old file.
2. If the new config file is a new default file I will accept the new file.
3. I will never change a file that is program code, (I am not a programmer).
Are these rules sane? What kind of problems could I run into doing this?
What would be some better rules to use? I have tried dispatch-conf but I
still have to make the same decisions. Am I missing something?
Thanks for any advice.
Jerry
