Subject: [gentoo-user]  etc-update: what's the meaning of "using_editor" setting?
Date: Sat, 09 Sep 2006 23:06:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <18987691.QAMJg8AHY0@m-id.message-center.info> (raw)

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 to set using_editor=1 or =0?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
