Then I uncommented the 'diff_command=3D"vim -d %file1 %file2"' line in /etc/etc-update.conf and I stopped caring. I, however, am not sure that distributing an /etc/make.conf is even necessa= ry. Put up an /etc/make.conf.sample instead of make.conf, like some packages do, and let the user look at the sample file and set their own /etc/make.conf. Which sounds very similar to what sf@b-i-t.de (sorry, no names, no signatur= es there) commented - leave make.conf alone and put the comments in make.globa= ls. That should do the job. --=20 \ Georgi Georgiev \ GREAT MOMENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY (#17): On \ / chutz@gg3.net / November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove / \ +81(90)6266-1163 \ himself from his place of residence. \ --3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/AXBRfXO2NUT1EmYRAuEqAKDdjIxPwxBAnQ+uZAIeMi8+XbkFAgCgmEFD Ydd2QbGJvcrNdKKJTZ8TSh8= =hiIa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz--
