Description:   Opened: 2003-04-13 23:09 0000
It seems odd to force the user to modify /etc/update.conf when it should
be possible to just use a generic update.conf that would probably work
for the majority of people.

I'll attach a patch to the ebuild to do this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge slocate
2. cat /etc/update.conf

Actual Results:  
Saw message about EMPTY /etc/update.conf.  Wasn't thrilled about having to
configure it myself.

Expected Results:  
/etc/update.conf should just be reasonable.

ebuild fixes

patch to install a reasonable default /etc/update.conf + ebuild cleanup

------- Comment #2 From Brandon Low (RETIRED) 2003-04-17 12:28:45 0000 -------
Yeah, I wondered when I started messing with this ebuild why it wasn't like
that to start out.  I agree.

Fixed in CVS momentarily
