Volker is. I am not sure I am and I'm not sure that Neil was talking |
| 32 |
about quickpkg which is what I am using so far. The command |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
quickpkg --include-configs |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
says it includes the configs. That's what I thought we (you and I |
| 37 |
Alan) were talking about. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
On the other hand I presumed (apparently incorrectly) that the |
| 40 |
FEATURES="buildpkg" (which is what I think Neil is speaking about) |
| 41 |
gave me the same option but I now guess it doesn't. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
If I need to use quickpkg to save the configs then I think I'll do |
| 44 |
that being that as I simple-minded home user with no admin experience |
| 45 |
I have no in-place rigorous methods for doing __any__ backups. I just |
| 46 |
tar up directories once in awhile and deal with the problems that come |
| 47 |
later. (If they come...when they come...they do come, don't they?) ;-) |
