Description Owen Gunden 2003-04-26 01:01:37 UTC

In order to get a prelink.conf, you have to have FEATURES="prelink" in your
make.conf.  This is not documented in the prelink howto, nor is it documented in
the large FEATURES comment in make.conf.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at the docs :P

It should also mention that /etc/prelink.conf is not generated automatically by portage, but by env-update (yes, okay, part of portage, but it's not obvious since the text seems to imply that emerging prelink will automatically generate /etc/prelink.conf which it does not).

there is no such thing as FEATURES="prelink"

from portage.py:
if spawn("/usr/sbin/prelink --version > /dev/null 2>&1",free=1) == 0:
    prelink_capable=1
