All,

First, please let me know if I should be directing this to a different OE/yocto 
mailing list; I have a hard time figuring out which list is appropriate at 
times.

I am on poky/dylan and am using NTP on my target system.  I would like to 
change the configuration for NTP and push out the changes to devices that are 
firmware upgradable.  I made the change and pushed out the upgrade, but I see 
that ntp.conf did not get changed on at least one of the systems (the first one 
I checked).  Now I see that ntp.conf is listed under CONFFILES in the main ntp 
recipe 
(http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#var-CONFFILES),
 which explains why it was not upgraded.

First, I want to confirm how the CONFFILES parameter works.  If a file is 
listed under CONFFILES, is that file never modified during an upgrade or is it 
only upgraded if it has not been modified (matches the default file from the 
previous package version)?  I am using opkg for package management if that 
makes a difference.

Second, how do I force the NTP configuration to be upgraded?  For my system, 
the user has no interface to modify the NTP configuration.  So even though it 
is a configuration file, in my case I want ntp.conf to always match the version 
provided by the upgraded package.

Thanks,
Bryan
