1 Hello
2
3 I posted my patch to dispatch-conf at http://dev.gentoo.org/~radek/
4
5 This patch adds two important (for me :) things:
6
7 * Batch mode support, when dispatch updates all possible files (non
8 changed etc), and then prints remaining ones and exits.
9 * Merge unmodified files, using mtime < ctime comparision. This makes
10 unnecessary any md5sum storage/computing, while being (almost?)
11 equally safe.
12
13 Both things have supporting config file options for better integration.
14
15 Looking forward Your comments.
