Hi and sorry for being late to the party due to occasional lapses in my reading the list. But I wanted to throw my two pennies into the mix. I’ve never switched from etc-update which I used when I started out with Gentoo back in ye olden days. But when I started using vim for everything, I set my diff-tool to vimdiff. This allows me to import the new changes “my way” and merge them with my own customisations very easily. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
