The "important" messages from installing packages/ports. There is something I have noticed in various package/port systems, including OpenBSD, Debian, and more. Here is an example: $ sudo pkg_add python--- python-2.5.2 -------------------If you want to use this package as your default system python, as rootcreate symbolic links like so (overwriting any previous default): ln -sf /usr/local/bin/python2.5 /usr/local/bin/python ln -sf /usr/local/bin/pydoc2.5 /usr/local/bin/pydoc
Now, in this case, I have installed just one package, interactively, so the point is mostly moot.But for the scenario of installing something with dependencies, something that takes a while,where I walk away and come back much later, these "important" messages, these messages aboutoptional manual configuration, should be collected somewhere for my perusal. Maybe they already are? Thanks, - Jay
