Description David Skidmore 2002-10-25 14:33:03 UTC
Is it possible for emerge to either run rc-update as necessary or at least  
inform the user that it must be run, when a package requires it to function?  
I'm thinking of numlock, postgres, and a few otrhers, they give you no clue as 
that they need rc-update to be run, nor what parameters rc-update should use( 
i.e. niether the name of the scipt to be added, nor witch runlevel to add it 
to).

it is policy to not run rc-update on *anything* emerged

packages that install into /etc/init.d/ tend to be intuitive (same name as pkg
or similar)

runlevel's are up to YOU to define (if you dont know, add it to default)

`rc-update --help` shows you everything you need to know
