Well, this is probably evil, but I like it anyway: Edit /etc/portage/bashrc and add: test /sbin/rc -nt /sbin/rc.safe && printf "\n**** /sbin/rc needs to be updated NOW **** \n\n" Then when you update baselayout and a new /sbin/rc comes along, you will get a notice after it is merged but before the 'clean'step runs. Presumably you can then diff /sbin/rc and /sbin/rc.safe to figure out the differences. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
