see thic link: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=121455 Ok, but a long-term solution still needs to be worked out for this. Users shouldn't have to delete what they have in /etc/init.d I read somewhere that emerge will NEVER remove anything inside /etc. If an update need to remove/change something in there, it will prompt you to do so. And the "annoying" thing you just experience won't happen that often. I only saw a couple when developer rename/reorganize packages. No, this also happened to me when I did a "routine" switch from syslog-ng to sysklogd (or whatever it's called). If Gentoo's policy is to not delete anything from /etc/ that is great. I prefer that. What is needed then, is a change to etc-update (to remove a file "interactively" which deemed unecessary, such as /etc/inti.d/vcron), or change the depscan.sh so it isn't so retarded. |
