What about a modification to etc-update that allows portions of a file |
| 10 |
to be protected? Something along the lines of: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
#Instructional comments |
| 13 |
#PROTECTED |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
CFLAGS="..." |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
#/PROTECTED |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Such tags and a method to auto-merge comment updates should eliminate a |
| 20 |
lot of the superfluous config file merging. |

Just a thought, |
