rich0 / cfg-update Goto Github PK

From forums.g.o:
I would like the replace/keep options to be shown earlier in the dialogue.
e.g. I see the following and in most cases I already know that I want to keep the current file or that I want to overwrite it with the .cfg0000* file:
Code:

• YOU ARE ABOUT TO UPDATE A CUSTOM FILE. YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF
• WHERE DOES IT COME FROM AND WHAT HAPPENDS WHEN YOU REPLACE IT?
• PORTAGE DID NOT INSTALL THE CURRENT FILE, MOST LIKELY IT HAS BEEN
• CREATED AFTER INSTALLATION AND IT MAY CONTAIN CUSTOM SETTINGS.
  Press [y] - to merge the current file and the .cfg0000* file with vimdiff
  Press [s] - to skip this update (to investigate first, and try again later)
  Press [q] - to quit cfg-update immediately

I then have to go through the steps of closing down three successive vi sessions before I get to the stage where I get these options:
Code:
Press [1] - to replace the current file with the .cfg0000* file
Press [2] - to keep the current file and remove the .cfg0000* file

so it would be wonderful to have these two options in the original menu.

Looking at the source code I suspect that beediff won't actually work with the patches that were already in portage.

Test and potentially fix...

Need to replace the function call on replace option to actually replace it with the new file and not simply delete it.
