~ # eclean-pkg * Building file list for packages cleaning... !!! Error accessing PKGDIR. !!! (Check your /etc/make.conf and environment). !!! Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/portage/packages' ( Indeed I don't have /usr/portage/packages so the error is correct) It would be nice to point to /etc/make.conf and/or /etc/portage/make.conf (maybe based on what it's present?). New users may get confused and move /etc/portage/make.conf back to /etc/make.conf.
yeah, that hasn't had any updates since the make.conf move. To be honest I didn't think of eclean needing that update. :(
hmm, looking at that code, make.conf is not actually used. It is just in the PKGDIR and DISTDIR error messages. It seems a waste of checking for existence of one, or the other, or both (since both are possible and legit). Just to print it in the error message. I think in this case, just updating it to /etc/portage/make.conf would be enough. Comments??? before I push the change.
I've just been changing references from /etc/make.conf to just make.conf. Most people are going to know which one they are using.
