Unbreakable (almost)Unbreakable (almost)Posted Feb 20, 2004 14:33 UTC (Fri) by xentric (guest, #19628)In reply to: Unbreakable (almost) by etwilson Parent article: The Success of Gentoo Mistakes with etc-update are a very common problem for people new to Gentoo. I have written a script (with ebuild) that makes updating a little less dangerous and a lot easier. The script is called cfg-update. See: GUI alternative for etc-update -> cfg-update It determines if configuration files have been modified after being installed by portage and presents both the original and update in a graphical diff/merge tool of your choice (default is xxdiff). Unmodified files can be updated automatically and you can easily restore the backups if you encounter any problems.
