I replied(to Neil) before remembering why I put |
| 14 |
CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" in my make.conf(if that's the |
| 15 |
problem here). Now it comes back to me. Whenever I |
| 16 |
used to emerge something there'd inevitably be a long |
| 17 |
followup where I had to answer y/n to a list of files |
| 18 |
that were due to be overwritten IIRC. From a forum I |
| 19 |
was advised to write the above CONFIG_PROTECT line. |
| 20 |
That's when was I new to gentoo and I haven't changed |
| 21 |
it since. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But where is CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, since grepping |
| 24 |
make.conf only returns the one line, CONFIG_PROTECT? |
