Description Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-09 20:11:32 UTC
ISSUE: lcdproc-0.4.3.ebuild & lcdproc-0.4.1-r1.ebuild automatically add /etc/init.d/lcdproc to 
your default run level. This ebuild should have this as a default behavior. This can cause a 
system to hang during boot if improperly configured (and will by default if you do not have the 
same LCD display on the exact serial port as put in the pre-made /etc/conf.d/lcdproc ).     
     
Out of thousands of packages, there are only a handful of ebuilds that add the service to an init    
level, I cannot see how this needs to be one of them.    
    
Suggest that the post package install be removed or set up to be an einfo comment on how to    
add lcdproc to the default run level.     
    
Regards,

Sorry, the 2nd sentence should read:  
 
This ebuild should NOT have this as a default behavior.
