"which are matched against the beginning of a full file path" would mean |
| 11 |
that e.g. CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc/foo" would protect the following: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
/etc/foobar/doh |
| 14 |
/etc/foo |
| 15 |
/etc/foobaz |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
.. or did I misunderstand something here? I don't know whether that is |
| 18 |
the current behaviour of portage, but IMO it certainly shouldn't be. It |
| 19 |
should rather be |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
/etc/foo (file) |
| 22 |
or, if /etc/foo is a dir: |
| 23 |
/etc/foo/* |
