The corresponding . . . /etc/iscsi/._cfg0000_initiatorname.iscsi requests to override any user-defined initiator name by the installation default of the package.

It's now sys-block/open-iscsi-2.0.874 inb between. sys-block/open-iscsi/open-iscsi-2.0.874.ebuild, function src_install(), lines 94 / 95: insinto /etc/iscsi newins "${FILESDIR}"/initiatorname.iscsi initiatorname.iscsi.example .........................^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ installs _un_conditionally, without checking if a (custom adjusted) version already exists.
Hmm, at some point, upstream decided to ship their own /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi, but the ebuild was never properly updated for that. Fixed now in 2.0.874-r1. [master 909dc831cc0] sys-block/open-iscsi: prevent endless changes of /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi.

(In reply to Manfred Knick from comment #6) > Concerning > > HOMEPAGE="https://github.com/open-iscsi/open-iscsi" > # http://www.open-iscsi.com is dead <----- scst != open-iscsi. If you look at the GitHub page, it doesn't mention SCST at all.
(In reply to Robin Johnson from comment #7) > (In reply to Manfred Knick from comment #6) > scst != open-iscsi. You are perfectly right - I apologize mixing things up (too many roads under simultaneous consideration). Correcting myself: --> http://www.open-iscsi.com/ points to https://github.com/open-iscsi/ points to https://github.com/open-iscsi/open-iscsi finally. Intended PROPOSAL: HOMEPAGE="http://www.open-iscsi.com" "https://github.com/open-iscsi/open-iscsi" so a novice gets pointed to the "Introduction" first. -- "Replace open-iscsi.org with open-iscsi.com" [ https://github.com/open-iscsi/open-iscsi/ commit/888ee69f17ad0faaee90aafcca25ec8942e9d293 ]
