In man 1 rsnapshot: /etc/rsnapshot.conf.default can be used as a reference. This is incorrect, as the ebuild installs the file to /usr/share/doc/rsnapshot-1.3.1-r1/rsnapshot.conf.default The manpage should be corrected to indicate the correct path of the file. (Though I wouldn't worry about .gz vs .bz2 vs .xz ...) I'll hopefully come back with a patch when I have time.
The ebuild isn't actually putting a sample config file anywhere.
Disregard my last comment I must of accidentally deleted that file.
We have post-install message, like * Messages for package app-backup/rsnapshot-1.4.2: * The template configuration file has been installed as * /usr/share/doc/rsnapshot-1.4.2/rsnapshot.conf.default * Copy and edit the the above file as /etc/rsnapshot.conf >>> Auto-cleaning packages... Do you think it is not enough?
