True, I was wondering if there is a way to show it on their first |
12 |
upgrade instead; most users would indeed not be able or forget to |
13 |
bookmark this during their handbook install. |
14 |
|
15 |
Therefore, I won't commit this patch. |

I wonder if Pacho can adapt the eclass to allow us to do this on the |
18 |
first upgrade, I have explicitly put him in CC so he can consider that. |
19 |
Perhaps he can also explain why he wanted to see this change happen. |

I thought the goal of this eclass is to get rid of repeating messages |
22 |
that are not that important from the elog. After you have installed the |
23 |
kernel twice you should be able to do it a third time. People that |
24 |
really still need the link have it either bookmarked or can look into |
25 |
that file, another concern here is that nothing mentions its existence. |
26 |
The user would have to spot it in the list of installed files, strange. |
27 |
|
28 |
If I misunderstood the goal of this eclass, sorry, it's not documented. |
29 |
I thought people were against these kind of repeating messages in elog. |
