Done: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177560 Quote: " When a file under CONFIG_PROTECT doesn't exist yet, Portage simply installs it. It would be nice to have an option (say --protectforreal) that makes emerge create a .cfg_0000_* file also when the destination file does not exist yet in the CONFIG_PROTECT area. When first installing a system, one wouldn't want to use this option, but once a system is fully installed and stable, I wish to know about every change and addition in /etc." Benno -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
