I think that trying to CONFIG_PROTECT these is a _very_ bad idea. |
| 13 |
They are part of baselayout, and pretty much go hand-in-hand with the |
| 14 |
/etc/init.d and /lib/rcscripts scripts. If a new version of |
| 15 |
baselayout is merged with an old functions.sh, you risk ending up with |
| 16 |
an essentially unbootable system. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
If you don't want those modified, mask out newer versions of |
| 19 |
baselayout in /etc/portage/package.mask. |
