that said, when you do a new install even unchanged files (in rmp) may have a different date and how can you know if it's really unchanged?
For many of the example I gave its as matter of 'why should you care?" Let me put it this way: If I use bleachbit to clear out the 'COPYING'/GPL files, th3 language files I don't and am never going to use, then a global restore just means I'm going to use bleachbit to remove them *again*. Yes, Carlos, i know, since I'm savvy about config, having read man pages diligently and experimented (how else do you learn?) that I can exclude them. But for a lot of issues of simplicity, management, and other matters (see 'parallelism') I choose, and I think its a sound and more flexible strategy, to implement as a mounted file system. heck, we already do that for /home. Sime things I want to survive an update, and un-mounting them is a simple and reliable way to achieve that! -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
