After emerging conky I see: * You can find sample configurations at /usr/share/doc/conky-1.9.0-r2. * To customize, copy to ~/.conkyrc and edit it to your liking. But: % find /usr/share/doc/conky-1.9.0-r2 /usr/share/doc/conky-1.9.0-r2 /usr/share/doc/conky-1.9.0-r2/html /usr/share/doc/conky-1.9.0-r2/html/config_settings.html /usr/share/doc/conky-1.9.0-r2/html/variables.html /usr/share/doc/conky-1.9.0-r2/html/docs.html /usr/share/doc/conky-1.9.0-r2/html/lua.html So there are no sample configurations.
I think they are in /etc/conky. I will take a look at this in the evening.
+ 24 Jul 2013; Daniel Pielmeier <billie@gentoo.org> conky-1.9.0-r2.ebuild: + Fix bug #477726. Thanks to Marckus J. for the report. I mistakenly pointed to the new path but this version still installs the example into /etc/conky.
