That should provide a nice compromise between having the files available from pkgs and not enforcing a specific mechanism (tools, not policy) to update /etc. Cheers, Matthew --W27EaNpUVXie6kwbDX06knivpn8IbnEcB-- --ARNcXD8gnPam9p9lRMXgP6aApHm3n3hdw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJZjH0iXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NTNBNjhCOTEzQTRFNkNGM0UxRTEzMjZC QjIzQUY1MThFMUE0MDEzAAoJELsjr1GOGkATB3oQAI5vTET+XrhBsEVjf9MkN254 nCG2hZh61Xb2V3lXoGtlEi1WirHVnZUqp4rt+t9KoCnVXFu1oQifnmmz2SWsdsdD 97TFJUAyKpfF/aB8nu5Nd62i/bsw5OeSAR5UEzZJx55QutB61fGMxISeyBmgWpoQ amvNkn7nwJ4tdJ3I09V0mqmjPk9/3gUProoRI7xyOmjxrvYZtOdVHKfLeAG493rg EGh/9de6N70f8DzhBP7OOJIzmAaPouDwvwP0IBHr8N3KBmDQRn96dZtuSEDiS1aD RCc1njnXZF+c698OyXmdGTs7wkOVIRAKCsevKpcCe/c7C6VVQbYN8pXJfutVmF46 lTwamRMLpAN85ccGmb3TsEO4+0vjPYvilqB+l+9vAauGVC9MBVXwlUh+r9v0t0fz o6iFASEPs/niOnnfFEXVDgrIP2DcD02a3Xh3L5wwAguZB533dYjz9heMl1L5ZfU6 sn+A5QItPLINwkqyH6QKtl3LeCspLoQPBineTu4gabQEoLSY8dev/wxjklo759P3 /ANcvlnZ5fCDtCGEj66cswFw1araZnLNQ4zq2SuAtjQA8CwAjnFzW2BmcQdNi+4n zTG8p5STzMykg8Slmwa36EOhng4rT1FjvVo5RmOBl2RSI7GWffI/N4dU3Zhsedb1 aknPejHKZLyRbSjHnT4A =y23F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ARNcXD8gnPam9p9lRMXgP6aApHm3n3hdw--
