[gentoo-user] Can some config files be automatically protected from etc

From Walter Dnes@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 17 20:30:01 2023

Now that the (no)multilib problem in my latest update has been solved,
I have a somewhat minor complaint. Can I get etc-update to skip certain
files? My latest emerge world wanted to "update"...

1) /etc/hosts (1)
2) /etc/inittab (1)
3) /etc/mtab (1)
4) /etc/conf.d/consolefont (1)
5) /etc/conf.d/hwclock (1)
6) /etc/default/grub (1)
7) /etc/ssh/sshd_config (1)

...hosts is critical for networking. consolefont allows me tp use the
true text console with a readable font, etc, etc. I have my reasons
for making certain settings, and keeping them that way.

I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with
frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista,
pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All
those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.

In my experience with all distros I go outside the distro for this
sort of issue. Put a copy somewhere, white a little script that
does a diff on the files you feel are important enough and run
a cron job hourly that looks for any differences.

I'm not sure about etc-update, but whenever an update triggers a config
file conflict, I just `dispatch-conf` to see the changes, and then
either merge, or 'zap new' (aka, delete the new version and use the old
one). This works pretty well to keep my changes to /etc.

Another thing that can help is keeping /etc under a vcs like git. You
can do that manually or using a helper tool like `etckeeper`, which
automates a lot of the git upkeeping for you.

Really, etc update has a facility for skipping whatever files you want.

The emerge specific solution is to set the list in your CONFIG_PROTECT variable in /etc/make.conf, as per the example provided here:

The emerge specific solution is to set the list in your CONFIG_PROTECT variable in /etc/make.conf

Afaik CONFIG_PROTECT includes the whole of /etc by default (Unless you
poke holes in it with CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, or overriting CONFIG_PROTECT).

Absolutely really. It's not only about whether that option works today
but whether it keeps working in the future, assuming it really works
at all.

There's also the case of the machine going down, a disk corrupting,
etc. and how long it takes to find the notebook where supposedly
we had the notes about how we set things up.

And what about other machines using other distros?

I'm only offering what I do. I personally wouldn't run the cron job
but for all my machines part of my backups is a big list of config
files kept elsewhere on the network so that I don't have to
reconstruct that sort of config stuff. Add to Walter's list other
things like NFS exports and for old people like me it's just
easier to be prepared.

Just my POV.

Isn’t that exactly what etc-update does? IIRC (my last Gentoo update was a few months ago), I select one of the files, and it lets me view a diff in
vim (configurable) of my old version and the new one from the update. Then I can either merge the two files right in vim, or elect to keep the new or old file entirely.

It might do most of that, if it's working. If no bugs have been introduced since the last time you used it, if the user has their eyes open and
doesn't make a mistake.

I do not know if it has an option to keep a copy somewhere safe, and
again, I run multiple distros and like a solution that, for me, works on
all distros.

Okay, the problem is where you mix user and system config in the same

You could have a post-install hook in /etc/portage/env/$CAT/$PKG for each
of the affected files, something like

post_pkg_postinst() {
rm -f /etc/._cfg0000_hosts
}

You'll need to check the syntax as it's a while since I've used this.
