I am required to modify various package files after a yum install or yum update 
because of site requirements. 

An example is the /etc/skel/.bashrc file. A mod to set a specific umask, 
permissions, prompt and color are done. A yum update or yum reinstall replaces 
the file and the site specific mods which then must be redone. 

Creating a yum checkpoint of the package would permit rolling the bash package 
to a specific checkpoint and could return the files to the mod'ed condition. 
Currently yum does not have the function to do checkpointing which could 
retain/restore previous mods which are site specific. Yum verify is also 
affected. 
Is there a method to do checkpointing in yum or do I need to write a yum plugin 
to create the function. 

Thanks
Oscar
