Right.. Unfortunately, when I try to use it, I get file move errors, as if |
| 12 |
it's attempting to hard-link across partitions. I like the idea.. if it |
| 13 |
worked! (I haven't bug-checked this, as I expected it was designed that |
| 14 |
way and therefore known behavior. I just went back to etc-update, which |
| 15 |
/still/ doesn't page right with the default config due to a parse error |
| 16 |
because it wants quotes. See bug.. 56785.. still marked new nearly a |
| 17 |
month later, and even tho etc-update is documented core portage |
| 18 |
functionality, even with a proposed patch in the form of an improved |
| 19 |
sed command posted to the bug.) |
