Hmmm...

May be a dumb question but. I wonder how well the change will survive an upgrade to Mac OS X.

I am guessing since the files have the same names as the ones you are replacing them with the change will stay through an upgrade.

Just curious so someone tell me if I am wrong. I just hate making such changes only to have them undone everytime Apple puts out some new "dot" release.

i made copies and edited those copies, so if apple changes them, it isn't a big deal :)

i agree, i always have copies of the mods i make and others i install. just in case i have to reinstall, or apple replaces them (as it has been known to do with its dot updates.

Preserving custom .tif files across upgrades

Create a shell script that copies the distributed files to a backup folder/directory and then copies your custom files from your repository folder/directory to the appropriate locations. Execute this after an upgrade.
