 |
|
Today after upgraded xorg-server,portage notified me that two files need to be update.(/etc/init.d/xdm;/etc/init.d/xdm-setup)
Then I go to see what is the difference between them.
Then I found "ls" not showing these two files!!! 
But if I vim /etc/init.d/xdm,the file looks like there,file is not empty,looks like a nomal script file!But there is a "[New File]" at the status line of vim!!!
Anyone knows what happened? |

| /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/newinitd.vim autofills buffers in /etc/init.d if the file doesn't exist. Try ls -a instead. |

Ant P.
ls -a shows no "xdm" "xdm-setup" too.
If these two files does not exists,why portage said they need to be update? |

Maybe used to be there? Returning a file that was deleted also needs an update prompt, being missing could be a user configuration in itself.
Like it nags me everytime I rebuild openrc about returning 11 of its default runlevel entries + 6 init.d symlinks that I deleted, which reminds me I should just mask them at this point... |
