rpmnew files after upgrade. Way too much work!

[Michael Freeman]

Normally, I simply remove all my mailscanner files and install everthing
fresh. That way I don't have rpmnew files all over the place that I need to
copy of the top of .conf files.



Somebody suggestion to simply install new versions of mailscanner over the
top of the current installation but now I have rpmnew files in every
directory. How are you supposed to go though each and every directory,
including the LANGUAGE directories, and copy rpmnew over the top of .conf
file file directory by directory? This seems like a daunting take if you ask
me.



If you all did was rpm -e mailscanner then saved the important files like
MailScanner.conf you could do a fresh install and not have to worry about
trying to copy every single rpmnew file over the top of its matching conf
file partner.



Eg, I have not upgraded one language file and I have matching rpmnew files
which means if I don't copy them over the top of every .conf file I could be
loosing new settings. So what should one do?
