That's a long paragraph. ;) I don't see the problem with users not seeing a "run config" message. On th= e=20 contrary, I think it would be better if a message wasn't needed at all.=20 Instead, if a user didn't know how to configure a package or didn't want to= =20 do it manually, they would just give it a go with the package that they're= =20 interested in. The only thing I think is necessary to improve for this to work is the meth= od=20 in which a package's config method is invoked. Doing it via emerge would be= =20 much more intuitive. Something like "emerge --config dev-db/mysql"? Use=20 standard atom matching within the installed package database and use the=20 standard "please be specific" message when more than one package matches.
