Description Ernst de Haan 2006-01-13 09:11:30 UTC

I find it confusing that an ebuild called "netkit-fingerd" installs a client as well.

Suggestion: Split the ebuild into a daemon and a client. They /could/ both use the same distfile, ofcourse.

I've changed the description to indicate that it installs a client as well now.
USE=server/client is generally not been accepted for Gentoo except where the server adds significent complexity to the ebuild.
