I want to keep my gentoo system up to date. Here is my main problem: every time I emerge something, a certain number of config files seem to need updating. I don't want to increase this number, and I don't want to fix all of them.
Well you should really every time you do a update use etc-update to make sure your config files are up to date. Not doing this can cause things to not work is config options/syntax changes.
Is there any problem with leaving the old config files in place?
Usually it works but on occasion it will break things badly. It's not to painful to keep up with it once you get them cleaned up.
