Hello |

After seeing: |

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440214 |

Looking to a lot of its blockers shows that we are using "elog" messages |
| 7 |
for informing people about configuration (like pointing people to |
| 8 |
external links to get proper way of configuring things, tell them to add |
| 9 |
to some system groups...). I thought that maybe this kind of information |
| 10 |
could be simply included in a canonical file under /usr/share/doc/ |
| 11 |
package dir called, for example, CONFIGURATION or SETUP. We would them |
| 12 |
point people (now with a news item, for the long term provably a note to |
| 13 |
handbook to newcomers would be nice) to that file to configure their |
| 14 |
setups. The main advantages I see: |
| 15 |
- We will flood less summary.log ;) |
| 16 |
- The information to configure the package is always present while |
| 17 |
package is installed, now, if we remove merge produced logs, people will |
| 18 |
need to reemerge the package or read directly the ebuild |
| 19 |
|

What do you think? |
