then,
what is the procedure to present some help and such..about the ebuild
that is one thing .ebuild system lack. Take for example mod_perl, after its
installation u have run "emerge mod_perl postconf" or some such..
but i had to search the forums and arhives to understand thhis.. messages
that are displayed during compilation time is most of the time overlooked.
If the packges are compiled at once u dont have a chance to see them...
Messages at the end also dont "save the day" :") 'cause many times
i need the console for other things until i have to execute the instructions..
Can there be a info/help sub() into .ebuid so that at any time a user can do
emerge -info pkg
and see info from the creator of the .ebuild
This of cource has to be able to display any info that last step in
instalation has shown..
For example a variable into the ebuild unless there is pkg_info sub..Ex.
INFO="u have to do this and that to configure the packge"
.....
sub pkg_info() {
#if i specify this sub() then default behaviour of
#just displaying the INFO variable is overrided
}
