[issue20337] bdist_rpm should support %config(noreplace)

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being 
closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered 
for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and 
reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should 
be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools

[issue20337] bdist_rpm should support %config(noreplace)

[KV]

KV added the comment:

Configuration files in RPMs can have several attributes, one important one is 
'noreplace' (i.e., %config(noreplace) file-name).  This allows for 
configuration files that have been changed after the RPM has been installed to 
not be over-written when the RPM is updated -- for example with a later version.
This is very important, because you often want to customize your configuration 
-- that's what the configuration is for after all.  Without 'noreplace', your 
changes will be over-written by the updated RPM's stock configuration file.

I'm sad to see it can't be made available for 2.6/2.7.  I realize this is very 
old, but that's the version that's stock on RedHat Enterprise Linux -- which 
many of us are forced to use through our work environments.
