Expected by whom? I for one don't see why I should have to manually merge configuration changes to the end of times just because I have changed a single option.

It wouldn't have to care about my modifications if I could do them separately from the distro-installed configuration file... IOW, fragmented configuration allows me to do my own small modifications while following the upstream/distro configuration changes. Which is exactly the thing I want most of the time. It's a pity many projects don't support it (yet). > You don't need to look for > them though, just look at the output from `dnf` during the update. Gee, thank you very much for your advice... I'll certainly do just that when I'll be upgrading my machines to F-33... But for the time being I'll stick to running "git status" in /etc .-) D. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
