Having seen my name mentioned in the bright lights of GWN concerning this thread about managing config files: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/6702 I was inspired to add an auto update feature to etc-update. It works by saving md5sums before you do a big emerge. After a big emerge, it uses those md5sums to determine which config files you have personally modified. Those you have never modified will be auto updated. If you are interested or just want to laugh at my shell programming abilities, see my submission of it to Bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14666 Did I mention I love gentoo! -- Jeff Kowing jeffrey.d.kowing <at> nasa.gov -- gentoo-dev <at> gentoo.org mailing list
