[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Also apply signatures to config files (#374)

[Stefan Berger]

The --replacefiles option seems to work on an equivalent of a regex matching all files (`.*`). You are saying 'What rpm lacks is an ability to apply --replacefiles to only some of the %config files in the packages being installed in a single transaction'. What other choice do we have then than to give the user control over picking the files either by exact match or, to be more flexible, regular expressions. Regexs would let him choose 'some of the %config files' as you say and not necessarily all of them.

I don't understand your last paragraph: 'disable %config (and %ghost) in packaging and metadata' -- do you mean to patch the signature creation side in rpmsign ?
