After the umpteenth time of typing 'emerge --help config' to |
| 2 |
get the glob for the config files, I snapped. =) |
| 3 |
2 liters of Cherry Coke and several hours later I had |
| 4 |
modified bin/emerge and pym/portage.py to use rcs to |
| 5 |
check-in the new version of CONFIG_PROTECT protected files |
| 6 |
into a branch off of the current revision. I spent a couple |
| 7 |
days playing with it, and is seems to work fine. |
| 8 |
I also had to make a slight modification to |
| 9 |
/usr/sbin/update-modules (called by the nvidia-kernel's |
| 10 |
pkg_postinst() among others..). It would try to cat |
| 11 |
/etc/modules.d/RCS/ (or any other directories) and cause the |
| 12 |
rest of the script not to run. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
You will find my patches attached. the emerge and portage.py |
| 15 |
I modified are the 1.8.8-r1 versions, although it seemed to |
| 16 |
patch into 1.9.0-pre1 without much fuss. I haven't actually |
| 17 |
tried _running_ it in 1.9.0-pre1, so ymmv. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The rcs patch still needs work as I haven't had time to |
| 20 |
craft a /etc/make.conf option for it.. there's currently one |
| 21 |
line in portage.py that turns it on or off. grep for the |
| 22 |
string 'MAJOR HACK' to find it. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If anyone else uses this, modifies it, fixes it, or what |
| 25 |
have you, let me know. =) |
