I've experienced this very problem myself -- no way to config-protect an |
| 12 |
actual deletion of a file. Back on openrc, I ended up with several |
| 13 |
initscripts symlinked to a "null" script that was basically a comment |
| 14 |
reminding myself to delete the update. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I'm on systemd now, and it has the concept of symlinking a unitfile to |
| 17 |
/dev/null to force-disable it, which helps, but I've seen the problem |
| 18 |
with a few other files as well over the years, so would love to have this |
| 19 |
functionality available. |
