> Change something inconsequential in the `vm.args` file to prevent its removal on uninstall to preserve the default `-name couchdb@localhost` from 3.3.2 (and thus retain access to pre-existing databases)? That should work, if the file is edited, then it shouldn't get removed during uninstall and it shouldn't get overwritten if you install the new CouchDB version. You then have to compare the settings between `vm.args`(your old file) and `vm.args.dist`(new defaults of this CouchDB version) by yourself, maybe some Erlang or other settings changed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
