Created attachment 450608 [details, diff] patch to savedconfig.eclass The elog message of save_config() in savedconfig.eclass is a bit difficult to read. Let me propose a patch to improve it. One obvious problem of the current elog is the following line: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "You can edit **these file**..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "these files" has to be "this file" (which means the savedconfig file.) There is one more trouble: the following lines are a bit of headache: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ${PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT}/etc/portage/savedconfig/ [${CTARGET}|${CHOST}|""]/${CATEGORY}/[${PF}|${P}|${PN}] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the verbatim elog message. It's difficult to understand, because (i) it is the pathname, but broken into two lines. (ii) Most gentoo users I guess are not fluent in ebuild variable names. (I can't distinguish PF and P, and had never heard of PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT, nor CTARGET under /etc/portage.) I propose (i) to produce an explicit example pathname, like "/etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linux-firmware" and (ii) also to retain the original two lines, appending "(line contd.)" to the first line. Maybe you might have a better idea. (Similar one was in bug #306527. It was only a complaint, but I submit a patch.) Thanks beforehand.
