Description Peter GAAL 2008-09-12 00:37:27 UTC
The python script in wifi-radar-1.9.8-r1 doesn't utilize the configuration script /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf installed by the ebuild (and described in the man pages). It generates a file /etc/wifi-radar.conf instead.

The corresponding patch.
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2008-12-07 13:01:58 UTC
I would prefer get wifi-radar.conf in /etc instead of creating a subdir simply for placing one file, it would only require to patch manpage like debian is doing already:

Comment 4 Peter GAAL 2008-12-10 22:15:27 UTC
(In reply to comment #3)

Thanks for the hint. I had the same aversion for the subdirectory, but the original ebuild was written this way.

Debian patch for the manpage

As the patch applies without a problem, go for it.

Patch for an improved ebuild

Note: This should hold for v1.9.9 too, since the ebuild seems to be unchanged (check it please).
Comment 7 Michele Noberasco (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-14 16:20:30 UTC
I'll fix bug #249842 instead, as that is the correct location for non-multiple package config files.
