Is %config(noreplace) enough to instruct an RPM not to touch a config file in an upgrade?
On my RedHat 7.4, I'm creating an RPM with CMake, and one of the instructions I want to give the RPM is - to leave a certain config file alone, in case the action is an upgrade.
I thought I could accomplish this in my CMakeLists.txt with (mcve):
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.4.0 FATAL_ERROR)
project(MyKibana)
set(kibana_version 6.2.2)
set(kibana_dir /usr/share/mykibana)
list(APPEND CPACK_RPM_USER_FILELIST
"%config(noreplace) ${kibana_dir}/config/kibana.yml"
)
However, when I do sudo yum upgrade /tmp/my-kibana-6.2.2-577-g7cca696.el7.my.x86_64.rpm -y, I see that the file at /usr/share/mykibana/config/kibana.yml is overwritten with the file in the RPM.
Is there something else I need to do besides the %config(noreplace) directive?

The behavior of rpm with config files is rather complicated to understand.
%config(noreplace) will not replace your config file if you changed it. If you did not touch the config file, it will always be overwritten with the new config file.
For a more thorough understanding; see this excellent page: http://people.ds.cam.ac.uk/jw35/docs/rpm_config.html
