Right, I am not seeing that happening. I am seeing that the new init script is not created with an .rpmsav. The local modifications stays.

I read this: “If present or populated with the value true, the files in this mapping are marked as configuration files. These files get special treatment during package installation to ensure that local changes to the configuration are not lost.” If you modify say an initscript and then install the RPM update, it leaves the local copy in place, but does not provide a .rpmnew or .rpmsav. This is if configuration is set to true. According to here (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch09s05s03.html), if in the RPM it is set to %config(noreplace), then it will “copy the new file with an extra file-name extension of .rpmnew”. So, if I want to maintain local modifications and have it create a .rpmnew – I should use <configuration>noreplace</configuration>?
