I can understand this, although scheduling a file/directory twice for backup should definitely _not_ confuse the backup logic. What if someone erroneously places something in local.local which is already backed up by a specific package.local. Will this confuse the backup logic? If so, then I consider this a bug, as adding anything in local.local is legitimate :-( Of course I could not resist to test this, and added etc/network to local.local, here is the result gatekeeper# tar tzf /CF/gatekeep.lrp | grep network etc/network/handle_routes etc/network/if-down.d/del_routes etc/network/if-up.d/add_routes etc/network/interfaces etc/network/routes This actully looks pretty OK to me, modifying etc.local accordingly yields gatekeeper# tar tzf /CF/gatekeep.lrp | grep network etc/network/handle_routes etc/network/if-down.d/del_routes etc/network/if-up.d/add_routes etc/network/interfaces etc/network/routes and having it in both files gatekeeper# tar tzf /CF/gatekeep.lrp | grep network etc/network/handle_routes etc/network/if-down.d/del_routes etc/network/if-up.d/add_routes etc/network/interfaces etc/network/routes So apparently with a pretty recent config package the proposed change does not break functionality. > > A better way is to include those files in local.local (local.lrp), that's > where that package is meant for.

That is the way I do it right now, my local.local file is constantly growing though. cheers Erich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
