Description Paul Bredbury 2006-05-18 01:54:37 UTC

Hi, there's 3 small problems with games_pkg_postinst() in games.eclass:

Using "mail" with PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM, the "Just run 'gpasswd -a <USER> games'" is disassociated from the "Remember, in order to play games..." line, because the einfo and ewarn sections are separated in the email.

It's not obvious that the user has to re-login to bash for the group change to take effect.

It's tedious to see the same message a thousand times :)

This patch makes the multi-line ewarn consistent, and mentions the re-login, and allows e.g. a GAMES_SHOW_WARNING="no" line in /etc/make.conf to turn the oft-seen warning off (although it will be on by default).
