NetBSD habanero.huxley.org 1.5.2 NetBSD 1.5.2 (HABANERO) #0: Thu Oct 25 16:16:20 MDT 2001     root@habanero.huxley.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/HABANERO i386
>Description:
After doing an upgrade to 1.5.2 from CD, I noticed many files were replaced or zero'd out which I did not expect to change.  eg. root's
.profile, .cshrc, .login, etc.  roots crontab file, all the standard
log files in /var/log, /var/cron/log.  These are all files that are
needed for an install, but probably shouldn't be overwritten with an
upgrade.
>How-To-Repeat:
do an 1.5.2 upgrade.
>Fix:
Have a separate "install-only" tarball? or use an upgrade-only exclude list?
