Bug 306527 – savedconfig.eclass: simplify elog message

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toralf Förster 2010-02-23 14:48:31 UTC]

IMHO the variables in the last 2 lines should be evaluated, isnt't it ?:

...
You can rename this file/directory to one of the following for
its configuration to apply to multiple versions:
${PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT}/etc/portage/savedconfig/
[${CTARGET}|${CHOST}|""]/${CATEGORY}/[${PF}|${P}|${PN}]



Reproducible: Always

Er, that is in savedconfig.eclass. Nothing to do with busybox.

no because the contents of those variables are designed to change (think cross-compiling and different ROOT setup)

Well, sounds right from a programmers point.
OTOH is is not really user-friendly readable and the message is designed for users, isn't it ?

people who are interested in customizing the config are more likely to be competent, so random users are not the target audience.
