+### Config files
+
+If you have files that need to be preserved after every `yum update`, you can add them to the `config` array.
+On update you can achieve following two behaviors:

+2. `"noreplace": true`: Local edited file will be preserved and new file from update will be renamed with `.rpmnew`

+      {"file": "./my-config.js", "noreplace": true},
+      {"file": "./my-other-config.js"}
+    ]
+  }
