How to undo %{fillup_only} ?

English Open Build Service (OBS)
#1

I’m building a package using %{fillup_only} to place a configuration file at /etc/sysconfig/.

What is the proper method to delete that file upon removal of the package?

Related question: I note that updating the package will not overwrite the existing configuration file at /etc/sysconfig/. That’s good to preserve any existing user configurations, but when the syntax of the configuration file changes I have to replace the old one by the new template. Can I force this?

Hi


%postun  
%{insserv_cleanup}

It should clean it out on rpm removal though?

Just mark as %config in your %files section and don’t use (noreplace).

Thank you. That is it.

Ooops, I was too fast

When I test it I see that it does not remove the config file in /etc/sysconfig/ when I remove the rpm package with yast.
