It is already in OpenPKG CURRENT and will show up in OpenPKG 2.2's
apache package. If you there do a reload a graceful restart is
performed.

 2) My lake of knowlege.
How should I use rc.conf ?
I'm not used with that kind of startup, I guess its similar to debian ??

All I found is that all the rc.xxx files from OpenPKG have a %config
section that could change the way a server starts.
Should I repead the configuration settings I whant to change from
rc.xxx in rc.conf with my setting ?

Just place the name=value settings into your rc.conf file
in order to override the ones in the rc.xxx files' %config sections.

Updating rpm should preserve /opkg/etc/rc.d/rc.server

2004-10-15 Thread Alexander Belck
Today I updated apache following security advise.
It happens that the instalation overides rc.apache that should be treated as a
configuration file, since there ara options that could be set previously (and
in this specific case, I needed to implement the graceful action).

In general form I think that the rpm install script should at least rename the
old version to .rpmsave or make the new a .rpmnew if files differ and display a
warning.

Thanks,

Alex

No, rc.xxx are *not* configuration files! If you want to change
some of its settings write them to rc.conf, please.

.rpmsave are only created for config files. rc.xxx are not config files,
hence no .rpmsave files.
