Hi,
On our cluster with CentOS 5.5, I have a little problem with a script for infiniband (this problem: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/NUQmuN84gd3D31Fdl8PU). So the fix a very easy. But what will yum/RPM do during the next update ? Will it overwrite the file ? Will it write on display that the file was modified by an user (as under debian) ?
Thx a lot, Best regards, Guillaume

As far as I can tell, if the file is marked as a configuration file in the RPM, it will be left alone and the new configuration file will be renamed to file.rpmnew. If the file is not marked as a configuration file, it will be overwritten.
Regards,
Gabriel

You need the .spec file from the SRPM, or you could install it and test it.

I'm interested in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ib file. Is there a configuration file or not ?
Thx a lot. Guillaume

This is what a config file looks like in a spec file. See how it has %config at the beginning of the line, with the option of noreplace. This file is a config and will not be replaced as far as rpm is concerned.
%{_sysconfdir}/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ib
This file has no such markings, and is not considered a config file by rpm. it will be replaced on update.

This will list configuration files for an installed $package:
rpm -Vv $package 2>&1|grep -e ^........" c"

Or the slightly easier (and per the rpm documentation)
rpm -qc packagename

"rpm -qvc $package" gives more info-- the files' permissions and owners.
But the ridiculously long one (at top) tells-- among other things-- which files have changed from their initially installed versions-- key info for what the OP was wanting to know. (I wrapped it in a bash script so it's easier to type.)
