Sorry, I misunderstood your question. etc-update can be set to |
| 18 |
automatically merge trivial changes, but you want this done by portage. |

You could use a script like this instead of running emerge directly |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
!#/bin/sh |
| 23 |
/usr/bin/emerge $* |
| 24 |
etc-update |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
You could even alias that script to emerge, then you wouldn't even have |
| 27 |
to remember the change. |
