Description David 2010-12-16 08:09:20 UTC
After installing bootchart, this message is displayed:

 * Post the file /var/log/bootchart.tgz here:
 *    http://www.bootchart.org/download.html
 * to render the chart

That website doesn't have any form for posting the bootchart.tgz file, so I wonder if this post-emerge message is out-of-date.


Also, the post-install message includes this:

 * For best results: 
 *   Enable BSD process accounting v3 in the kernel
 *     This will produce more accurate process trees

www.bootchart.org/docs.html says that enabling BSD process accounting v3 requires installation of the sys-process/acct package.  I see that there is a USE flag for app-benchmarks/bootchart to enable "acct"  -- but the post-emerge message doesn't mention this USE flag.  Rather, the post-emerge message seems to indicate that simply enabling the kernel option is enough.  So, I propose that the USE flag be mentioned as part of the BSD process accounting option.

Reproducible: Always
