emerge --help config really needs to be updated (and probably moved to a man page). The feature that you want is already supported in >=portage-2.1.2_pre1 (bug 14321). You can add normal files to CONFIG_PROTECT and/or CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK. Thank you very much for the very fast response! Do I understand right: 1.) The feature "config_protect_file" will be available with >=portage-2.1.2_pre1 (means CONFIG_PROTECT_FILES & CONFIG_PROTECT_FILES_MASK at bug 14321). 2.) Adding normal files to CONFIG_PROTECT and/or CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK is allways available. ("will be" because I have a amd64 and there are only 'sys-apps/portage-2.1.2_preN-releases with ~amd64 keyword at the moment) CONFIG_PROTECT and CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK are the only two variables for config protection. You can rely on both of those supporting files (in addition to directories) in all versions of portage >=-2.1.2_pre1 (_pre2, _pre3, etc...). We need to do something about the --help config thing, but that's bug 136908. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 14321 *** |
