Description David 2012-05-13 03:11:51 UTC 
After installing bootchart2, there is a post-emerge message that says:

 * Please review /usr/share/doc/bootchart2-0.14.2-r2/README
 * for further usage informations.



However, that file doesn't exist; the actual file is:

/usr/share/doc/bootchart2-0.14.2-r2/README.bz2


So, maybe something like this message would be helpful:


 * Please run the following for further usage instructions...
 * bzless /usr/share/doc/bootchart2-0.14.2-r2/README.bz2

The problem is that the filename extensions in the documentation directories depend on the PORTAGE_COMPRESS setting that emerge uses to set the compression command used to compress the files. By default this happens to be bzip2.
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-15 14:27:11 UTC 
It would be best if no ebuilds mentioned documentation in pkg_postinst() at all, but presumed users could figure it all out themselves.
Comment 3 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-15 14:31:36 UTC 
That is right.
