The build produces: * Messages for package net-fs/autofs-5.0.5: * USE="sasl" adds SASL support to the LDAP module * which will not be build.

In which respect do you think that README.active-restart is the more appropriate README? I don't see what you refer to right a way and like to make sure to understand your point before improving the einfo. > It would also be helpful to include in the einfo that only > 2.6.29 and before are affected, to save those who don't need to having to look > this up. That's a valid point. I will include this in the updated version. Thanks for pointing to this.
einfo was updated in 5.0.5-r1. Also information about kernel patches will be visible if user have quite old kernel installed. Fixed.
