Description Cedric Sodhi 2016-05-16 05:34:34 UTC

I emerge dwm with +savedconfig and as of yesterday, an invocation of

emerge -uDN world

did delete and replace my dwm config in /etc/portage/savedconfig/x11-wm

Comment 1 Coacher 2016-05-16 08:01:30 UTC

Probably because ebuild doesn't call savedconfig_pkg_postinst() from its own pkg_postinst().

Fixed in 6.1-r1. Thanks for the report!

(I dropped pkg_postinst() entirely because it consists entirely of einfo messages that probably deserve a wiki page or should simply be documented in <longdescription>.)
