The ebuild says to go cd /var/lib/gimps && /opt/gimps/mprime if you are not using the init scripts, but this doesn't actually work. It uses /opt/gimps/mprime for its config folder unless you pass it the additional /opt/gimps/mprime -w/var/lib/gimps Steps to Reproduce: emerge gimps Start and stop the init script. cd /var/lib/gimps /opt/gimps/mprime -m After changing something in the menus, two sets of config files are created, one in /var/lib/gimps and one in /opt/gimps. I symlinked the two sets files to be the same thing, until I discovered the -w option. It seems like the ebuild should create the symlinks itself or say that the -w option is needed when not using the init scripts. spock@gentoo.org 2005-09-17 09:23:38 0000 Fixed in CVS, thanks :)
