Description Peter Avramucz 2007-08-19 20:02:04 UTC 
I have a drive, that isn't supported yet in the official database. However if i add a line to /usr/share/hddtemp/hddtemp.db, it works. Re-emerging the hddtemp package however resets the file.I think this file is like sensors.conf, which isn't overwritten. So please make a protect mask for it, or even better, make it act like files in /etc (so etc-update can operate on it).

So add it to CONFIG_PROTECT in /etc/make.conf if you need this? Vast majority of users never ever touches the file, why should they be nagged on every upgrade?
Comment 2 Peter Avramucz 2007-08-19 20:15:22 UTC 
Okay. It works. However, this option isn't mentioned in make.conf.example...
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-19 20:33:09 UTC 
See `man make.conf`
Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-19 20:33:51 UTC 
FIXED is not a proper resolution for this as nothing changed in the ebuild.
