Both etc-update and dispatch-conf have good and bad points - none of them are ideal tools. For example, it would be nice if etc-update could archive config files into CVS. On the other hand, Im using vimdiff with etc-update which makes comparing config files very easy - dispatch-conf doesn't use vimdiff. Ive used both and ultimately stayed with etc-update (the colors in vimdiff make it easier to work with). -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
