Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2011-08-02 15:23:04 UTC
Considering that sys-boot/lilo installs files to /boot, I'd appreciate if it could use mount-boot.eclass like grub does. Or just stop doing it, as it seems that lilo is only installing a keepfile there...

if it doesnt actually write anything to /boot, then we can drop the keepdir since baselayout takes care of setting that up already

    sys-boot/lilo: Fix bugs #377427 and #473620
    
    Remove 'keepdir /boot' from src_install to address #377427
    and update the example lilo.conf in FILESDIR to reference 'sda'
    instead of 'hda' (name for older PATA drives) to fix #473620.
