Description Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-22 01:10:47 UTC 
Make config file protection smarter -- record md5sums of original files to
prevent bogus ._cfg????_ files from being created.
Comment 1 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-25 01:25:55 UTC 
We also need to take into account that the package that owns a particular file
may change names (Foo -> foo, foo -> bar, etc.)
