So someone that has access permissions here: Please do fix the devmanual http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/pkg_postinst/index.html It now states: Common pkg_postinst Tasks The most common use for pkg_postinst is to display post-install informational messages or warnings. Note that has_version will operate on the version that was installed, which can be useful for selective upgrade messages. Regards Matthias -- [email protected] mailing list
