I try to sum up what I think that should be done with this issue.
Name is unresolved. I chose "mutable" as an interim one.
%mutable will be defined for REG files and LINKs.
Behavior :
- if a file/link is the same as in new package
(it has the same contents, gid, uid and mode)/(is the same),
then touch it (set time stamp for REG files).
- if a file/link is the same as in old package
(it has the same contents, gid, uid and mode)/(is the same),
then upgrade it as "normal" file/link
- else do nothing
(It means, that for config files/links rpm will behave similarly as
%config(noreplace),
but without creation backup files and warnings. The only difference is that
this behavior takes files with the same contents but different uid or gid or
mode
as different. For %config(noreplace) such files are similar. )
