Description Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-10-29 21:49:36 UTC
It might be more convenient for users to type `man netifrc` to understand what the package does; because some people might not be aware of it, this partially also might have to do with pkg_postinst only showing a message in certain conditions.

Users unaware of what we know about it, might not know what this package is or does; and not everyone can list the files of a package to know what it does. Neither does the HOMEPAGE show any information about it as far as I can see.

So, it would be appreciated by users if there was more accessible documentation.

Thank you in advance.
