Bug 138188 – "rc-update show" issues warnings with SCM-managed /etc/initd.d

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniele Varrazzo 2006-06-27 05:29:33 UTC]

I use to store my system configuration in a subversion repository, so i can trace system updates and (hope to) revert damages.

Since last update world (which pulled in sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.15-r3), the rc-update output shows lots of "Broken runlevel" errors, because it attempts to walk into .svn directories.

The following patch fixes the issue for me. All hidden files and directories (with their content) are excluded from check. It can be made more selective, of course.
