The openvpn .spec-file supplied in the source code archive does not
specify "%config(noreplace)" for the init file, i.e. if you run "rpm
-Uvh openvpn.rpm" and you have a modified init script it is simply
overwritten without notice. I would expect that the rpm update operation
either creates a openvpn.rpmsave or openvpn.rpmnew file.
A quick grep through the Fedora Core and Extras spec files shows that
most don't even mark their init scripts as %config, much less
%config(noreplace).
I just took a look at the spec-files for daemons that are in the FC5
core-updates released so far. ALL of them have %config set for the init
script:
%config is set for named, smb, sendmail, spamassassin
%config(noreplace) is set for squid
Anyway it does not hurt to protect the init script against being
overwritten.
Best regards,
