Except that portage doesn't overwrite stuff under /etc by default. It |

saves the new config file and then tells you there's an update so you |

can use etc-update or dispatch-conf to check/merge/abort the changes. |

config file. |

If you've files that you want protected that aren't under /etc then add |
| 15 |
the path to the CONFIG_PROTECT variable:- |
