Hi, |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
So I tested it, and I was surprised how many /etc files weren't put into whitelist. |
| 40 |
Actually, most of /etc shouldn't be suggested for deletion if the packages are still installed. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Portage stuff like repositories could be whitelisted in a dynamic manner, or at least bing able to |
| 43 |
tell what directorie(s) are used to store them. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I also caught some wrongly listed files because of the multilib system with /lib symlink. |
| 46 |
For example, dhcpcd declared /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks, thus the realpath /lib64/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks |
| 47 |
was listed in the removal suggestion. This should be fixed with profile 17.1 |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
The log is so huge at the moment it is useless for me :/ |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
% wc -l out.log |
| 52 |
461575 out.log |
