I'm just wondering if anyone here knows if anything is being done with etc-update or the baselayout package to stop it pointlessly trying up update a load of configuration files that I'm never going to let it touch every time it is updated?
It seems like baselayout's changed quite regularly recently (this is in the x86 branch) and every time it does I get asked to update: 1) /etc/DIR_COLORS 2) /etc/devfsd.conf 3) /etc/fstab 4) /etc/group 5) /etc/passwd 6) /etc/rc.conf 7) /etc/shadow 8) /etc/conf.d/net 9) /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
Aside from rc.conf and maybe devfsd.conf I can't think of a single one of those that should ever be replaced or merged with a vanilla copy. In fact with most of them accidentally replacing the file with a vanilla one would be somewhere between an annoyance and a major headache.
Is there anything that is/has being/been done about this?
Thanks,
Andy
