I know that lots of you don't know "dpkg-reconfigure", well, it will write the /etc/whatever.conf file for you asking you in an interactive way what do you want to do. I'd compare it to some package's "ebuild /usr/portage/whatever/whatever-0.0.1.ebuild conf". I would add a mark for packages that can be configured, as there is a mark for UPDATE, NEW, RE-EMERGE, FETCH... I'd add another one like "C" for ebuilds that admit "conf" option. As someone said here before, EMERGE is a not interactive tool (if we don't take in count --ask), but in general it is not interactive. And we can assume that anybody stays in front of monitor all the emerge process, so I'd suggest to print information (or warning) messages in a more efficient way, for example: AT THE END OF THE EMERGE PROCESS, not at the end of each package emerge process. I think that PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES, PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM and PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI is not so necessary if all messages are printed out at the end of the global emerge process. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEr6UAWFfYaTyFH8oRAisJAJ9rzuxt/wKJPAvXoCdU9d4JcCoIkACghuPf xEju9eUjrUPsOG7HMnM7F9A= =cqyw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
