All configuration files in confluent-kafka-<scala_version> RPM SPEC file should be marked with %config prefix in %files section. This would prevent overwrites during install/upgrade and uninstall operations [https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html-single/rpm_packaging_guide/index#files] It's especially important to save configuration during package upgrades. Section to change in SPEC file: {code:java} %files %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/kafka/*.conf %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/kafka/*.properties {code} It would also be good to mark documentation files with %doc -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
