Dear all,

while updating from OI 151a_5 to 151a_7 worked smoothly for me, " pfexec pkg 
image-update -v" overwrote (at least) my dovecot configuration files  without 
backing up the existing ones (e.g. as rpm would with .rpmsave files). Yet 
another time I was happy to use OpenIndiana with its boot environments and 
snapshots. :-)

Is there a pkg command line argument to influence that behavior and have pkg 
save those files? Or is it entirely up to the respective package to trigger 
that in its spec file? What's the best practice in that case? Mount the old 
boot environment and then manually copy config files to the new boot 
environment? But how would I know what to look at?

Would be great if someone could point me at some best practices. TIA!

Cheers
 Stefan
