The ebuild shows some messages, in order to delete old plugins, one should invoke rm -r /usr/share/jedit but that deletes the whole jedit installation. The plugin jars are located in /usr/share/jedit/jars, but even that directory shouldn't be deleted blindly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge app-editors/jedit-4.2-r2 2.read the comments Actual Results: Comment recommends deletion of /usr/share/jedit and all its subdirectories Expected Results: imho "rm -rf" should never be recommended at all, especially not when the directory is vital for a program
It's not post-merge message but postrm. But it's true you see it after remerge or upgrade too, because portage removes older version. Not sure if we can do anything about it. I've added a message to make it more clear: elog "Ignore this message if you are reinstalling or upgrading."
