fix /etc/etc-update.conf so it reads : # pager for use with diff commands (see NOTE_2) # pager="less" pager="" # vim-users: you CAN use vimdiff for diff_command. (see NOTE_1) # diff_command="diff -uN %file1 %file2" # using_editor=0 diff_command="gvim -d %file1 %file2" using_editor=1 # vim-users: don't use vimdiff for merging (see NOTE_1) merge_command="sdiff -s -o %merged %orig %new" of course, you need to have (G)Vim installed on your system. this will show the diffs in 2 nice vertical panels, which you can edit to your taste, if something is customised, or simply check through if not. it reappears for each file choice. when you're satisfied, you exit Gvim & enter '-1' (etc) as otherwise. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
