On installation, the configuration files (in /etc, of course; are there others?) should all be checked into a revision management system, with a vendor branch (the upstream versions from devuan) and a local branch (the versions as adated to local requirrements). Every time an upgrade makes changes, the appropriate merges should take place. If changes are too radical, the merge will fail, and manual intervantion should be mandatory. Deferring the merge resolution whould be possible -- the revision management system will hold all the details.
Doing this will maximize transparency whe things get complicated, and leaves the sysadmin the opportunity to back out of configuration changes manually or make other necessary changes. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
