Once you get past rsync blasting your updates to a profile (using one of |
| 15 |
the methods you suggested), there is a problem with customized updates. |
| 16 |
The problem is that no notification is made when changes are made to |
| 17 |
the profiles. For instance, recently, I started getting errors from |
| 18 |
portage that no unmasked gcc existed in portage. It turns out that the |
| 19 |
version specified explicitly (*=...) in my packages file had been |
| 20 |
removed from portage. A simple e-mail anytime profiles are touched |
| 21 |
would really be helpful. |
