A few weeks ago I modified etc-update to add a new flag.
This new flag makes etc-update to apply trivial changes
exit without showing the menu.
A bug was filed, but had no response so far.

Hi,
It's the first time that etc-update changes something in
my /etc/portage dir.
It has changed x11-themes/emerald-themes cause it has changed its
category and removed ksudoku...
I undestand first change, but not second one, so could someone explain
what checks etc-update in that dir?

Hello!
In /etc/etc-update.conf, there's the "using_editor=" (with 0 and 1,
for false and true) setting.
What's that supposed to mean? What does it do? When should
it be set to 1 (true) and when to 0? What's an editor? Or,
more directly, I'd like to use "meld" as the diff_command
tool - do I need

It displays a list of all the files that need updating, but does it
