3 | I'll follow up with one more thought... The reason for the existence of |
4 | /etc/init.d, /etc/conf.d, /etc/env.d, /etc/cron.d, etc. is not to |
5 | arbitrarily split up configuration files into smaller sections. It's |
6 | for a single reason: To allow the files to be installed by separate |
7 | packages. |
8 | |
9 | Since /etc/make.conf is installed by a single package (portage, of |
10 | course), the logic used for the other /etc/*.d directories doesn't |
11 | apply. |
