Most people modify their files in /etc. Distinguishing between old unmodified and old modified files would be very difficult; especially considering the fact that people can upgrade between many different versions. In the end you would still need to run a mergemaster like program because merging modified files would require human interaction. In my opinion mergemaster is good for the complete opposite reason you stated. For me it helps me keep my /etc filesystem clean from older stale files. This wasn't a very difficult problem to track down either; it's actually a very common issue because many people don't pay attention to the UPDATING file. -- Ryan "leadZERO" Sommers Gamer's Impact President ryans_at_gamersimpact.com ICQ: 1019590 AIM/MSN: leadZERO -= http://www.gamersimpact.com =-Received on Sun Dec 21 2003 - 05:52:29 UTC
