* See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
* man page to learn how to update config files.

... To find files that need to be updated in /etc, type find /etc -iname '._cfg????_*' ...

Tools such as dispatch-conf, cfg-update, and etc-update are also available to aid in the merging of these files. They provide interactive merging and can auto-merge trivial changes.
