Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2011-06-20 18:22:31 UTC
Today I re-emerged it and got this difference within current and new config file:

n22 ~ # diff /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/._cfg0000_busybox-1.17.4      /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.17.4

which seems to be superfluous.

Reproducible: Always

the .config is mostly managed by savedconfig.eclass

that said, etc-update takes care of merging things automatically, so i dont see much point in addressing this

# etc-update 
Scanning Configuration files...
Automerging trivial changes in: /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.18.4
Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :)
