Hi all, Relatively straightforward question I think. I've been a long time gentoo user (after running red hat for years and years) and got used to just rsync'ing my system whenever upgrading hardware, and then recompiling my kernel and reinstalling grub. Then I usually rebuild the entire system, reason why I do that is usually a) break in the new hardware b) make sure that all the symlinks timestamps are up to date since symlink timestamps are not preserved. If the package database thinks symlinks have been modified (aka timestamp doesn't match) it doesn't remove the symlink, which leaves alot of orphaned symlinks when packages are updated. Now, I'm a Fedora user and if I were do to do the same thing with a fedora system, what are the ramifications? Does the rpm database keep track of symlink timestamps and do I need to worry about them changing?
