Hi,
After the latest update to the linux-firmware package, portage tells me that it's unable to find a config for the 'savedconfig' USE-flag.

WARN: prepare
No saved config to restore - please remove USE=savedconfig or
provide a configuration file in /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware
Your config file(s) will not be used this time
LOG: install
Your configuration for sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210629 has been saved in
"/etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210629" for your editing pleasure.
You can edit these files by hand and remerge this package with
USE=savedconfig to customise the configuration.
You can rename this file/directory to one of the following for
its configuration to apply to multiple versions:
${PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT}/etc/portage/savedconfig/
[${CTARGET}|${CHOST}|""]/${CATEGORY}/[${PF}|${P}|${PN}]
WARN: preinst
USE=savedconfig is active. You must handle file collisions manually.
LOG: postinst
If you are only interested in particular firmware files, edit the saved
configfile and remove those that you do not want. |
Currently the only file at /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/ is a file called "linux-firmware-20210629" and it's the unedited config file.
I'd like to compare this new config file to my previous one that I have been using up until the package update transaction took place.
Is that possible or did portage just overwrite my previous config? |
