Re: [Libvir] RPM upgrades interaction with default networking

When we build an RPM we also include the default.xml file in the

So anyone installing the libvirt RPM gets the default network, whether
they're doing an upgrade or fresh install. This is reasonable for the
new install, or the first time you upgrade to a new neworking-enabled
libvirt. If you subsequently delete the default network, or turn off
autostarting, then along comes the next libvirt RPM update and autostart
gets turned back on, and/or the default network recreated.
Have you tried how rpm reacts to a %config(noreplace) for those files ?
I am not sure how it deals with file deletions, but for files changed by
the user, it properly creates the new file as .rpmnew (and some people
actually have scripts to help them reconcile the rpmnew files with their
changes, interactively, of course)
