I've tried etc-update and dispatch-conf and I can't figure out either |
23 |
one of them when it comes to merging. I'd like a GUI tool where I can |
24 |
click the one I want to keep with my rodent and then save. Like you, I |
25 |
get confused trying to select things and then have no idea if I'm about |
26 |
to royally screw something up. I end up doing a ctrl c, restarting |
27 |
update tool and zapping the new file and praying that didn't break |
28 |
anything either. |

I have the default settings so there may be a better way but I just |
31 |
don't know what. I sometimes wish there was a video showing different |
32 |
methods of managing config files and me picking what makes sense to me. |
33 |
|
34 |
I might add, a good while back I started doing updates in a chroot and |
35 |
then using -k on my main system. Since then, I don't see config updates |
36 |
hardly at all. I wonder if building in a chroot affects that. |
