I've been using gentoo for a while now. Every time I have updated baselayout it has overwritten the make.conf file automatically with a default file. I've tried protecting it but to no avail.
Is this as it should be? I'm asking because it's about time for another system update emerge -pu system and that will bring in another update to baselayout, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff. As baselayout is somewhere in the middle of this, and before portage itself is updated and emerge-ing the system is restarted, the make.conf file will be overwritten in the middle of my system update. Now, since that will overwrite my use flags, does it mean the rest of the update will be compiled with the default use and make flags? I'd be glad if someone could enlighten me on this particular pickle. Harebrafolk Jimmy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
