Description

Upgrading treqs RPM packages conflict with previous version.

# rpm -Uvh  treqs-delivery-1.0-20150703.143750-35.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
    package treqs-1.7-0.x86_64 is already installed

Request :¶

Fix conflict with file treqs-java-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Do not overwrite existing config files. Instead install new file with ".rpmnew" extensions. IE:
```
/opt/treqs-1.7.0/etc/logback.xml.rpmnew

/opt/treqs-1.7.0/etc/version.txt.rpmnew
```

To face this requirement I have set the build date as rpm release
(the same value as the one used for version.txt e.g. 20150709.145932)

>rpm -q --info treqs
Name        : treqs                        Relocations: /opt/treqs-1.7.0 
Version     : 1.7.0                             Vendor: IN2P3 Computing Center
Release     : 20150709.145932               Build Date: Thu 09 Jul 2015 02:59:35 PM CEST
...

now rpm -U works (No conflict encountered)

> rpm -U /tmp//repo/fr/in2p3/cc/storage/treqs/treqs-delivery/1.0-SNAPSHOT/treqs-delivery-1.0-20150709.131803-130.rpm
>

Remember that file in etc/ are flagged as 'noreplace', so rpm -U will update package without changing files in etc/
To provide new file content in etc/ uses --replacefiles. In such case new file will be suffixed .rpmnew (and existing files leaved unchanged)
e.g.
```
> rpm -U --replacefiles /tmp//repo/fr/in2p3/cc/storage/treqs/treqs-delivery/1.0-SNAPSHOT/treqs-delivery-1.0-20150709.125455-126.rpm 
warning: /opt/treqs-1.7.0/etc/my-wrapper.conf created as /opt/treqs-1.7.0/etc/my-wrapper.conf.rpmnew
