I agree with this - it would make things easier. Note that you can |
| 11 |
alleviate this problem to a certain extent by the use of |
| 12 |
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK. For example, if you never alter your stock init.d |
| 13 |
scripts or, say, udev configuration files then you could put |
| 14 |
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/init.d /etc/udev" in /etc/make.conf. Any |
| 15 |
files beneath these directories will simply be clobbered by subsequent |
| 16 |
installation of packages that place files there (remember, |
| 17 |
CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" is defined by default). |
