Isn't it possible to copy the files, which mozilla creates on the first |
2 |
start as root. |
3 |
We could add these files as patch to the mozilla archive. So we don't hae |
4 |
the problem |
5 |
to must start mozilla first. I like to have a system which works without to |
6 |
much work |
7 |
after installation... |

The ebuild should inform the user of this caveat. |
33 |
|
34 |
In fact, we should have some kind of global notices for the portage |
35 |
system. When an ebuild has required or suggested post-install steps, these |
36 |
should be added to the notices list. |
37 |
|
38 |
The user would then do: |
39 |
# notices |
40 |
to list all notices |
41 |
# notices mozilla |
42 |
to list all notices pertaining to mozilla |
43 |
# notices --del mozilla |
44 |
to delete all notices pertaining to mozilla |
45 |
|
46 |
For very many packages, it would be nice for the user to have an archive |
47 |
of required, manual post-install steps. The entry in the notices list may |
48 |
be a complete step-by-step howto for trivial stuff, or a reference to a |
49 |
real howto on our website. |
50 |
|
51 |
It might be of interest to be able to mark notices as done, but still be |
52 |
able to bring them back at a later stage, when one wants to reconfigure a |
53 |
package. |
54 |
|
55 |
# notices --purge <ebuild> |
56 |
will delete the notices for good |
57 |
# notices --del <ebuild> |
58 |
will just remove it from the list of active notices |
59 |
# notices --undel <ebuild> |
60 |
will reinstate the notice |
61 |
|
62 |
|
63 |
In other distros, (Debian), required manual intervention in the |
64 |
post-install step is covered by the apt's menu-system. We might not want |
65 |
to do this, leaving the details and timing to the user. |
