Created attachment 444428 [details] emerge --info Since i installed sys-apps/etckeeper i get every emerge to following message: ============== *** Please tell me who you are. Run git config --global user.email "you@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name" to set your account's default identity. Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository. fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'root@loki.(none)') warning: etckeeper failed to commit changes in /etc using git ================== The problem is that there is no real user portage so i can't tell etckeeper the wanted information in this case. Is it possible to fix, maybe to use the informations from root user?
You can change GIT_COMMIT_OPTIONS="" in etckeeper.conf to manipulate GIT_CONFIG variable that points to the used gitconfig. Another solution, you could try, is to change the required settings in /etc/gitconfig which is the global config file for git. Please let me know if this fixes your issue.
Haven't heard back, please reopen if my suggestion does not work for you.
