dispatch-conf
என்பது கோப்புகளை ஒன்றாக்க உதவும் ஒரு கருவியாகும். கோப்புகள் CONFIG_PROTECT மாறியால் பாதுகாக்கப்பட்ட அடைவில் உள்ள கோப்பை மேலெழுத Portage விரும்பும்போது இதை உற்பத்தி செய்கிறது.

With, users are able to merge updates to their configuration files while keeping track of all changes. stores the differences between the configuration files as patches or by using the RCS revision system. This means that if someone makes a mistake when updating a config file, the administrator can revert the file to the previous version at any time.

When using, users can ask to keep the configuration file as-is, use the new configuration file, edit the current one or merge the changes interactively. also has some nice additional features:


 * Automatically merge configuration file updates that only contain updates to comments.
 * Automatically merge configuration files which only differ in the amount of whitespace.

முதலில் கோப்பை திருத்தி, archive-dir மாறியால் குறிப்பிடப்பட்ட அடைவு ஒன்றை உருவாக்கவும். பிறகு ஐ இயக்கவும்:

When running, each changed config file will be reviewed one at a time. Press to update (replace) the current config file with the new one and continue to the next file. Press to zap (delete) the new config file and continue to the next file. The key will instruct  to skip to the next file. This can be done to delay a merge until a future time. Once all config files have been taken care of, will exit. At any time, can be used to exit the application as well.

etc-update
Another tool to merge configuration files is. It is not as simple to use as, nor as fully featured, but it does provide an interactive merging setup and can also auto-merge trivial changes.

However, unlike, does not preserve the old versions of the config files. Once a file is updated, the old version is gone forever. Be very careful, as using is significantly less safe than using  when desiring to keep old configuration files.

After merging the straightforward changes, a list of protected files will be provided that have an update waiting. At the bottom the possible options are shown:

When entering,  will exit and discontinue any other changes. With  or , all listed configuration files will be overwritten with the newer versions. It is therefore very important to first select the configuration files that should not be automatically updated. This is simply a matter of entering the number listed to the left of that configuration file.

எடுத்துக்காட்டாக, நாம் என்னும் உள்ளமைவு கோப்பை தேர்ந்தெடுப்போம்:

The differences between the two files are shown. If the updated configuration file can be used without problems, enter. If the updated configuration file isn't necessary, or doesn't provide any new or useful information, enter. If the current configuration file has to be interactively updated, enter.

There is no point in further elaborating the interactive merging here. For completeness sake, we will list the possible commands that can be used while interactively merging the two files. Users are greeted with two lines (the original one, and the proposed new one) and a prompt at which the user can enter one of the following commands:

After having finished updating the important configuration files, users can then automatically update all the other configuration files. will exit if it doesn't find any more updateable configuration files.

quickpkg
With users can create archives of the packages that are already merged on the system. These archives can be used as prebuilt packages. Running is straightforward: just add the names of the packages to archive.

எடுத்துக்காட்டாக, curl, orage மற்றும் procps ஐ காப்பக படுத்த:

The prebuilt packages will be stored in $PKGDIR ( by default). These packages are placed in.
