ahayes opened a new issue #1594: Ubuntu package local.ini changes cause 
conflict on upgrade
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1594
 
 
   <!--- Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above -->
   
   ## Expected Behavior
   <!--- If you're describing a bug, tell us what should happen -->
   <!--- If you're suggesting a change/improvement, tell us how it should work 
-->
   
   The comments at the top of the local.ini file state:
   
   ; Custom settings should be made in this file. They will override settings
   ; in default.ini, but unlike changes made to default.ini, this file won't be
   ; overwritten on server upgrade.
   
   ## Current Behavior
   <!--- If describing a bug, tell us what happens instead of the expected 
behavior -->
   <!--- If suggesting a change/improvement, explain the difference from 
current behavior -->
   
   Instead, during an upgrade from 2.1.1 to 2.2.0, the user is informed of a 
conflict in local.ini and asked to resolve.
   
   ## Possible Solution
   <!--- Not obligatory, but suggest a fix/reason for the bug, -->
   <!--- or ideas how to implement the addition or change -->
   
   Move all setting defaults, descriptions, and boilerplate to default.ini and 
leave local.ini purely for local changes.
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
   <!--- Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to -->
   <!--- reproduce this bug. Include code to reproduce, if relevant -->
   1. Install couchdb 2.1.1 via Apache repositories on Ubuntu 16.04
   2. Make a change to local.ini
   3. Use apt to upgrade to couchdb 2.2.0
   
   ## Context
   <!--- How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish? -->
   <!--- Providing context helps us come up with a solution that is most useful 
in the real world -->
   
   I have dozens of systems running couchdb that need to stay current and they 
all have at least one custom setting in local.ini. Automated updates run into 
this bug and require human intervention unless I explicitly ignore maintainer 
changes to local.ini.
   
   ## Your Environment
   <!--- Include as many relevant details about the environment you experienced 
the bug in -->
   * Version used: 2.1.1, 2.2.0
   * Browser Name and version:
   * Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Ubuntu server 16.04.5
   * Link to your project:
