4 I was reading in the eix man page about eix-sync, and it gave about a
5 million options, but nowhere did I see if give a useable format for the
6 options, I wanted to have a option line setting
7 but I couldn't tell if it was like
8
9 PRINT_SLOTS=yes or
10 PRINT_SLOTS yes or
11 PRINT_SLOTS="yes" or
12 PRINT_SLOTS "yes"
13
14 There are other permutations. Howcome the man page doesn't give something
15 as obvious as that? Darn huge man page, after I initially found the
16 PRINT_SLOTS defintion, it took me 10 more minutes to find out that it was
17 supposed to go into /etc/eix-sync. It gives a great amoount of info, but
18 maybe it could stand some better organization, to let things get found.
