I raised bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56664 |
| 2 |
after a cron job was left behind in /etc/cron.daily following |
| 3 |
an unmerge. I basically agree with the conclusion (WONTFIX) |
| 4 |
but it got me thinking: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Should portage have a "should be deleted" marker for CONFIG_PROTECTed |
| 7 |
files? |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
It seems odd that there is no indication left behind for |
| 10 |
etc-update (or dispatch-conf) that a config file has been removed. |
| 11 |
These tools could then offer deletion (or even auto-delete if |
| 12 |
the file is known to be the one that got installed). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Is there a show-stopper that makes such functionality a "bad thing"? |
| 15 |
i.e., have I missed something? |
