I have been using cfg-update quite happily for a good while. I appreciate its automatically doing "simple" updates.
For any that it can't do automatically, I have done them manually (using emacs/ediff). I decided to try meld instead (I use gnome). It does make everything clear, but something seems wrong. Cfg-update keeps a backup containing the previous version of the file. When cfg-update invokes meld, the three relevant versions are displayed in meld's window like this current backup new (._*) I believe I want the final state to be backup = current and current = merger of current and new But current and new are not adjacent on the meld so I don't see how to do this using the fancy meld mouse actions. It seems to me, I want meld to display backup current new then, for each change that I want from new, I push new version to current. But I don't see how to have cfg-update call meld in this order and I don't see how to have meld swap the two left panes. (I am assuming that cfg-update will arrange that when I am finished backup = current-before-meld. If not, I can do this in meld) Can someone tell me how to get the configuration I want or explain why the configuration I get is actually what I (should) want. thanks, allan
