Description Alexander Skwar 2007-04-25 12:09:19 UTC 
In pkg_postinst, there's:

    einfo "Please see /usr/share/doc/${PF}/README.gz for further"
    einfo "instructions."

The file doesn't exist - the README file is compressed with bzip2:

askwar@winnb000488 ~ $ ls -la /usr/share/doc/suspend2-userui-0.6.4-r2/README.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1555 25. Apr 14:05 /usr/share/doc/suspend2-userui-0.6.4-r2/README.bz2

Because of this, the einfo should be:

    einfo "Please see /usr/share/doc/${PF}/README.bz2 for further"

bzip2 is the current default when PORTAGE_COMPRESS isn't set. It is, however, configurable so you cannot rely on it being .bz2. In fact you cannot rely on it being compressed at all. Also the einfo's should be converted to elog's.

Thanks!
OK. Modified to README.*
I don't think elog should be used since you should always read the manual... Maybe I remove the comment next version.
