Is there a way to add custom notes reminders during emerge or after? I've upgraded the bin scanner package (from overlay): brother-scan4-bin-0.4.4-r4 and I receive an email note from emerge: ---- LOG: postinst You may need to be in the scanner or plugdev group in order to use the scanner To add a network scanner to sane, run: brsaneconfig4 -a name=(name your device) model=(model name) ip=xx.xx.xx.xx or simply run brsaneconfig4 for more options ----
I didn't pay attention to it as my scanner was already configured. What it didn't tell me that the upgrade emptied my configuration file: /opt/brother/scanner/brscan4/brsanenetdevice4.cfg It is not a Gentoo like behaviour. If there are any changes need to be made it should be done via: cfgupdate etc. style; not just wipe the configuration file. -- Thelma
