Description Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-31 05:08:13 UTC
in the documentation, warnings about changing CHOST on stage3 installs is not
made in correlation to other documentation about make.conf


suggested fix:
move the <warn>  statement up to the make.conf (before mirrorselect) 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Benny Chuang (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-31 05:19:38 UTC
a warning tag inside Ch10 is necessary, but I don't think it should be moved
above mirrorselect
Comment 2 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-31 06:20:25 UTC
agh, true.  I seem to have been a bit confused.
Comment 3 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-31 06:25:47 UTC
What do you mean with "is not made in correlation"? You mean that the current
warning isn't placed correctly?
Comment 4 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-31 06:58:04 UTC
Yeah, The part that refers to editing etc/make.conf is in Chapter 10.
(even stage3 users may want to change USE flags)

 the warning about CHOST doesn't appear until chapter 13 (or 12 for stage2
)

theese both warnings should be merged and placed around Chapter 10 as well.

Comment 5 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-31 07:21:03 UTC
The warning is used in the beginning of the guide too (in the introduction),
so that ppl who want to choose a stage know that a stage3 has this "problem".
Comment 6 Benny Chuang (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-31 16:23:09 UTC
I agree with spider that the CHOST warnings should put in CH 10
with a very obvious warn.
