Description Ryan Finnie 2003-07-20 14:24:37 UTC
From etc-update(1):

OPTIONS
       None.

Eek.  This is one of the few smaller things preventing completely automated 
deployment to many machines.  It would be nice to be able to do "etc-update -
5" on a new system to automatically merge all updates without being prompted.

Thanks.

What is the difference between this and having nothing in CONFIG_PROTECT or putting the relevant dirs into CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK?
Comment 2 Zhen Lin 2003-07-21 05:48:15 UTC
Simple enough... Hopefully.

echo "-5" | etc-update

Patrick:

I didn't even think of that, thanks for the info.  Still, adding command line options to etc-update would be useful, for reasons I can't yet figure out :)

Comment #1 and Comment #2 are both fairly valid.
