True, I was wondering if there is a way to show it on their first upgrade instead; most users would indeed not be able or forget to bookmark this during their handbook install. Therefore, I won't commit this patch. I wonder if Pacho can adapt the eclass to allow us to do this on the first upgrade, I have explicitly put him in CC so he can consider that. Perhaps he can also explain why he wanted to see this change happen. I thought the goal of this eclass is to get rid of repeating messages that are not that important from the elog. After you have installed the kernel twice you should be able to do it a third time. People that really still need the link have it either bookmarked or can look into that file, another concern here is that nothing mentions its existence. The user would have to spot it in the list of installed files, strange. If I misunderstood the goal of this eclass, sorry, it's not documented. I thought people were against these kind of repeating messages in elog. - http://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/readme.gentoo.eclass - Bug in discussion: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457598 -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
