Hi, With Gentoo if the user runs "emerge --update --newuse --deep world", the config file under "/etc" may be updated and get the new config file named as "._cfg0000_xxxx", for example, "._cfg0000_ntp.conf". Normally I will compare this newly updated config file with my existing one, then decide if I am going to override the existing one with new one or discard the new one since I must keep my existing setting. It is not very efficient to do these actions with command lines such as "diff", "cp" or "mv" one by one. I wrote a tool with text menu to help Gentoo user compare and copy new the new config file conveniently. Does anyone have interest about it? What should I do if I want to make it open source and maintain it for Gentoo users?
