Description Alessandro Lepore 2004-06-21 04:40:39 UTC

sometimes emerge <something> give some important information fot the use of that app.
some information are displayed at the end of the merge, and that's ok, but some are displayed at the beginning: they appears only for 1 second or less.. impossibile to read!!
i think this should be changed for more readability.
may be another good idea to insert these messages in <longdescritption> or something..

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Selecter 2004-06-21 04:58:12 UTC

Yeah I think so too! I had to look at .ebuild to read something I missed.

Comment 2 Edward Flick 2004-06-21 08:09:21 UTC

Why not make a gentodo command or something that shows what you have to do for each package, after installation, to get it working (in other words it records those comments).
