"but if you make customizations, it will leave the file alone." - Does Customizations here refer to changing the attributes of the file or the contents of the file?
Because, I edited the old version of the file and added a few more lines of data to it before adding the files into the newer version of my package and had set a 'preserve' attribute to it too. But still, when I installed the new package, my old file was overwritten. The basic need here is to retain old/new file and discard the other file file based on some constraint (as documented by the 'renameold', 'renamenew', 'strawberry' options). However, I'm not able to achieve that functionality. Request you to kindly throw some light here. Appreciate your patience and support.. regards, Ram On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 9:31 PM, Danek Duvall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The problem is that you haven't made any changes to the file. pkg(5) > assumes that you want the file as delivered in the package, but if you make > customizations, it will leave the file alone.
