This would be very + useful in install targets to protect config files which the user usually + edits by hand. + Going by the modification date is not good enough, because the sample + config files or templates might be newer, but that's no reason to replace + the customized files already present. + + A possibility would be a new value for the overwrite attribute (like "never") or a new + attribute. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
