Details

Description: If someone makes their own user modifications to firejail profiles, firejail will overwrite those changes without warning. Firejail should include an .install file which backs up these profiles.


Steps to reproduce:
1) Install Firejail
2) Make some changes to the /etc/firejail/*.profile
3) Install new version of Firejail and loose all your modifications...


See attached firejail.install for a patch that resolves this issue.
   firejail.install (39.6 KiB)

This is done with the backup array, not in the pre/post install scripts.

As I understand upstream policy: they /etc/firejail/*.profile files should not be modfied (probably they should be stored in /usr/share/firejail/)

User put own configs into ~/.config/firejail/

Also etc/firejail/login.users is already in backup array.
