The file in question should be marked as a configuration file in the package. The expected behavior is that the installer detects that the configuration file has been modified and warns you that you should resolve the differences yourself (by comparing old and new versions of the file, usually in a text-difference tool like vimdiff or emerge.)
It's not really a bug that the settings file wasn't automatically overwritten with the new version, but if you weren't warned that the configuration needs revision then that is indeed a bug. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 6:00 PM, jude mwenda <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I have been looking onto how to make geonode upgrades and ran into the > following issue.
