Frank, I saw your post where you said: BTW: I choose to never run these silly update scripts. Now I look run etc-update only to see where gentoo placed replacements and cancel. Then having a look what will change and do this (if required) by hand.
I have a script called find-new-configs that has the single line: find `portageq config_protect` -iname '._cfg????_*' 2> /dev/null and that works well for finding them. I also have another one that saves all of the config files with date stamps and either replaces the original (archiving the original) or archives the new one. If you want that email me. -- Tres -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
