/usr/lib/portage/bin/etc-update, the only reference to 'using_editor' is |
14 |
on line 483. Here is some context: |
15 |
|
16 |
function do_cfg() { |
17 |
... |
18 |
showdiffcmd=$(echo "${diff_command}" | |
19 |
sed -e "s:%file1:${ofile}:" -e "s:%file2:${file}:") |
20 |
|
21 |
if [ "${using_editor}" == 0 ]; then |
22 |
( |
23 |
echo "Showing differences between ${ofile} and ${file}" |
24 |
${showdiffcmd} |
25 |
) | ${pager} |
26 |
else |
27 |
echo "Beginning of differences between ${ofile} and ${file}" |
28 |
${showdiffcmd} |
29 |
echo "End of differences between ${ofile} and ${file}" |

Basically it looks like if you have a pager set then you're 'using an |
33 |
editor' otherwise it doesn't expect a pager. Seems like a redundant |
34 |
config to me. |
