Bugzilla Bug 80538

When I emerge f-prot on my amd64 and my x86 machines, it states that I can add
the following to my crontab:
"
0 4 * * * /opt/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl >/dev/null
"

this should be changed to:
"
0 4 * * * /opt/f-prot/check-updates.pl >/dev/null
"

Since there is no /opt/f-prot/tools directory, and this reflects the accurate
location of the check-updates.pl script.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge f-prot-4.5.3
2. read the message at the end of the emerge process
3. note that the /opt/f-prot/tools directory does not exist.

Actual Results:  
There was no /opt/f-prot/tools directory.

Expected Results:  
Output this:

0 4 * * * /opt/f-prot/check-updates.pl >/dev/null

I can provide the amd64 emerge info if you want.

This should be really easy to fix. It would certainly help prepare the package
for  losing its ~.

Fixed, sorry for that and thanks for reporting.

mmh - the einfo is still missing ...

<snap>
 * Remember to run /opt/f-prot/check-updates.pl regularly to keep virus
 * database up to date. Recommended method is to use cron. See manpages for
 * cron(8) and crontab(5) for more info.
 * An example crontab entry, causing check-updates.pl to run every night at 4AM:

0 4 * * * /opt/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl >/dev/null

 * As of 4.5.4, the update script is installed correctly into directory designed
 * by upstream again. Check your crontab, so the path matches the one above.
</snap>

and maybe the cron/quiet-option could be added again also ...

<snip>
Here's an example of a crontab 
# entry which runs check-updates twice a day: 04:27 and
# 16:27.
#       (with this configuration, you will get e-mails whenever
#       virus signature files are updated or when an error occurs)
#
# 27 4,16 * * * /opt/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl -cron
#
#
#       (If you only want to receive an e-mail only when an error
#       occurs, then you want to include the -quiet parameter)
#
# 27 4,16 * * * /opt/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl -cron -quiet
#
</snip>

I think that's unnecessary amount of info for post-emerge message. How about
referring users to /usr/share/doc/${P}/html/auto_updt.html ?

Sounds much better

InCVS, thanks everyone.
