Description RGK 2007-08-18 16:21:27 UTC
Everytime you update lighttpd, even though it is easy to just keep a backup, it does overwrite your config files, and I do know many other ebuilds and such do not do this. All the main files in /etc/lighttpd which were initially added get overwritten.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge lighttpd // emerge --update lighttpd
2. /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
3. your site is down, and now you have to set the backups or reconfigure.

Actual Results:  
All the config files are overwritten in /etc/lighttpd/

Expected Results:  
It should of not overwrote them, and if there are any major config file updates put them somewhere else and tell them to update?

This is not major, I did test it on a few machines so I do know its not machine independent, it would just be nice not to have to use my backups every update.

this shouldn't happen due to CONFIG_PROTECT. please post emerge --info
