You have obviously never read the documentation or the install guide, while applying more concentration than a trained monkey. At several places it is stated to run: CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" emerge when installing or updating to allow/etc configs to be updated without interaction.
Granted if you were paying attention even then you realize that such an action causes configurations you have edited (such as port numbers in webmin) to be removed and overwritten during an update. It is for this reason that etc-update and protected configs exist.
Additionally you may find the following link useful as it describes ways to modify the configuration of etc-update to automerge comment changes (most common) and CVS headers (also common).
Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number. (-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all remaining files) (-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i'):
Seems to me that option -5 fromt he main etc-update prompt would take care of your "update all the config files in this directory" issue.
They said they were removing support, so why does this automatically mean linus must change? So he is using unsupported software for a while till the code tree is moved? IS this really such a huge deal?
If nothing else I would like to say bravo. Finally someone that could put into words what I had been thinking all along.
Tin hats will ensue, but regardless you make a very good point.
Calpc.com 8u rack mount 16 bay case. ~400US
Promise SX6000 ~275US
6x Maxtor 200GB drives ~150 ea.
and other various intricasies. total system was about 2500
Thanks a bunch, I was looking at the HT RocketRaid 454 which would support the proper number of drives for my 1TB array i am building, however I hear many horror stories about it's less than acceptable CPU usage.
why 2100+ people can be seen from 1400 ft away but i can't get the signal to my laptop 20 ft away on the deck.:) oh well. Time for bigger antennas i guess.
"Burns said the change was necessary because ICANN has exceeded its authority, does not operate in an open fashion, and is dangerously unaccountable to Internet users, businesses and other key interest groups.'"
Ok, i may be wrong but isn't that the point of ICANN to NOT cater to any group and to NOT get involved in the politics of the web but to just run the damn thing?
I mean last i checked that was the point of INDEPENDENT.
Actually the very first screen when you install the new client mentions it contains gator GAIN and targeted spyware. unless of course you are a gold member like me.
