Description Nick "folken" Matthews 2003-03-15 22:11:35 UTC
When using etc-update, when first examining the differences between the old and 
new versions of a config file, you have to use the term's scrollback function 
to see all of the file. However, after doing an interactive merge, you are then 
presented with a new diff. This time, it's shown in a pager (I assume less).

Could etc-update be changed so that it uses a pager for the initial diff as 
well?

Reproducible: Always

etc-update is in portage, not in gentoolkit
