I don't know if this patch will be outdated really soon (if there is a new python based etc-update coming), but I've already made the patch, I find it useful, so I might as well share it. And if it's outdated, consider it a feature request for the python version. My problem: I often find my self with 10-30 files in /etc having changed (especially when upgrading XFree -- this has probably improved with the automerge feature, but I still get many files that have changed and requires my manual attention). Often, only a couple of those are files I need to merge manually, or ignore. The rest is just a matter of inputing the filenumber, pressing 1, and repeat for each file. This patch lets you input 'A' instead of the file number. This will make etc-update automatically process all the files in the update-list, as if you choose 1 for each of them.
Sorry, please remove. I just noticed that this functionality has already been added. Sorry.
already in etc-update
