I think this should be a feature of portage, and I believe it's been discussed |
| 13 |
before. |

Basic premise, as I remember, is that when portage merges a new version it |
| 16 |
purposely doesn't overwrite files CONFIG_PROTECT'd, but really it should look |
| 17 |
for the file in /var/db/pkg, check the md5sums, and if the same overwrite it. |

dispatch-conf does basic backing up before overwriting. |
