Subject: [PATCH pve-network 08/10] debian: handle user modifications to FRR templates via ucf
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 17:01:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203160246.353351-20-g.goller@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260203160246.353351-1-g.goller@proxmox.com>
This ensures that user customizations to frr jinja templates in
/etc/proxmox-frr/templates/ are preserved across package updates through
ucf's three-way merge, preventing silent overwrites of local changes.
When a user has customized a template and updates this package which
ships a new template version, ucf shows a three-way merge dialog
(ncurses) allowing them to view the differences and choose between the
maintainer's version, their version, or manually edit the merge result.
