Hi guys,
There are some things that I forgot to tell ya.
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.
