why doesn't the config file have the version in it ? not having that makes your whole system error prone.
Perhaps I wasn't clear. Version 1 of the package uses a config file that looks like this:
system { setting1 value1; setting2 value2; }
interfaces { iface1; iface2; }
Version 2 of the package has switched to a YAML-based syntax, so the config file needs to look like this:
system: setting1: value1 setting2: value2
So, I need to be able to program the RPM so that when upgrading from 1.x to 2.x, it triggers the conversion utility that converts from v1 to v2 format.
so a regex looking for "system:" vs "system {" should nicely delineate these. I dunno, I might even put that into the conversion utility and have it just quit if the file is already in the new format, and always run it.
