Sorry, I misunderstood your question. etc-update can be set to automatically merge trivial changes, but you want this done by portage. You could use a script like this instead of running emerge directly !#/bin/sh /usr/bin/emerge $* etc-update You could even alias that script to emerge, then you wouldn't even have to remember the change. -- Neil Bothwick - We are but packets in the internet of Life-
