Well... I don't think it is needed to get this messages on every version bump "If, after upgrading, deluge doesn't work please back up and then remove your '~/.config/deluge' directory and try again" This I am not sure if is really needed at present time... I don't think I have ever needed to do it in years "To start the daemon either run 'deluged' as user or modify /etc/conf.d/deluged and run '/etc/init.d/deluged start' as root if you use OpenRC or 'systemctl start deluged.service' as root if you use systemd You can still use deluge the old way Systemd unit files for deluged and deluge-web no longer source /etc/conf.d/deluge* files. Environment variable customization now happens in /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service.d/00gentoo.conf and /etc/systemd/system/deluge-web.service.d/00gentoo.conf"" And this could be shown only on first install with readme-gentoo eclass Thanks
