hi! i'm a bit annoyed about having to manually merge the ._cfg files into my 'proper' config files every time something major happens in the rsync tree. are there any features planned to make that a bit easier? as i see it, there are a number of changes to config files that do not need special attention (such as changed comments, or my favourite, changed cvs tags). these changes could be put into a ._comments file instead of ._cfg or some such to make the importance (or lack thereof) of the change obvious to a find -type f -name ._NNN\* i'm happy to write some code that handles these files more intelligently, as it's a pet peeve of mine (the only thing i find less than perfect about gentoo, really). since i don't want to reinvent the wheel or break portage, i would be happy about a few pointers as to which files i should look into for adding the changes and/or who has been working on something like that. if you've already planned a feature like that, i'm perfectly happy to sit still and wait what happens :) have fun, jens Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge rsync 2. emerge -u world
ahum. i just found something in etc-update.conf while merging the new and old one manually, i.e. that 'trivial' changes should be automerged. looks like that's what i wanted. if i'm right, forget this, i'm already setting it to 'WONTFIX'. sorry about that! on the other hand, that's exactly the sort of problem i'm talking about, takes ages to realize which of the changes were necessary and which weren't. great to see you've taken care of my pet peeve :)
