<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Folks,<br>
<br>
This only applies to those using the RPM/yum distribution of ZendTo.<br>
It affects people running CentOS or RedHat, for starters.<br>
<br>
It does not apply to people running ZendTo on Ubuntu or Debian, for example.<br>
<br>
Currently, if you modify a *.tpl file (anything in /opt/zendto/templates) and then upgrade:<br>
1. The new version goes in as *.tpl.rpmnew<br>
2. The rpm command tells you this (but it tells you a lot of things very fast)<br>
3. You have to go and fix up any customisations, so that the service works at all.<br>
<br>
What I could change them to is this:<br>
1. The new version goes in as *.tpl and the old modified one is renamed to *.tpl.rpmsave<br>
2. The rpm command tells you as before<br>
3. The service works first time, but you then need to re-apply your customisations.<br>
<br>
Which approach is better?<br>
<br>
It's going to be a very noticeable change for any site that regularly tweaks any of the *.tpl files.<br>
But I suspect that is a small proportion of sites.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
Is this change a good idea or a bad one?<br>
<br>
Please let me know!<br>
<br>
