Is there any special reason why kernel-2.eclass (or any eclass) uses einfo
instead of elog for post-install messages?
I was about to make a patch as a proposal, but I do need advice on the way to
proceed.
Should I adjust K_EXTRAEINFO to use elog, or should I make a K_EXTRAELOG and
attache patches agains *-sources that uses K_EXTRAEINFO where they should use
K_EXTRAELOG?
Created an attachment (id=144712) [details]
convert eclass and ebuilds to using elog, add K_EXTRAELOG
I left out rsbac-sources because it isn't under the kernel herd at all but it
really should be converted too. I also only added the latest ebuild under each
package since it's exactly the same for every version and including all of it
just increases the noise.
Using einfo for any of this makes it drown in the noise from epatch, running
autofoo, enabling foo, etc. which all use einfo..
I'm willing to commit as much of this to as many ebuilds as I get permission
for if you want...
Looks great, please commit!! Thanks a lot for working on this.
CC'ing kang so he can decide if he want to use K_EXTRAELOG in rsbac-sources
too. Marking FIXED as the patch has been committed.
