The ebuild for >=app-admin/salt-0.11.0 does not contain the lines that install the template config files. Reproducible: Always Old ebuilds did the following during the install phase: # install the config template files dodir /etc/${PN} for conf in conf/*.template; do sed '1 d' ${conf} > "${D}"/etc/${PN}/"$(basename "${conf%.template}")" \ || die "sed failed" done
Created attachment 333654 [details] app-admin/salt-0.11.0-r1.ebuild Proposed ebuild that installs the template files. It appears that upstream has renamed the templates (removed the .template) so the previous method for installing the files would fail.
Fixed in salt-0.15.0-r1
