Anyone else have input into this? etc-update , pkg portage. Also see /etc/etc-update.conf I remember seeing a cfg file where you can set portage|etc-update to automatically update cfg files that have not been manually cfgd?

Re: [gentoo-user] post emerge config changes
Surely there is a better way to update shit.. possibly some sort of script that compares the two files and only shows what is different between the two.. that way we can make faster easier changes/decisions.. Thats how it works currently. the etc-update script just diffs the two files and shows you the changes. you can use a -5 to automerge all the new files. I normally look for files I have made changes to (/etc/make.conf etc) and when I have them out the way I just automerge the rest. Bit quicker but not much. iain -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
