[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH 1/3] etc-update: symlink support for bug #485598

[zmedico@gentoo.org]

From: Zac Medico <zmedico@gentoo.org>

This includes numerous logic adjustments that are needed to support
protected symlinks. The show_diff function now supports arbitrary
file types. For example, a diff between two symlinks looks like this:

-SYM: /foo/bar -> baz
+SYM: /foo/bar -> blah
