User talk:Vaukai/Managing repositories from make.conf

Alternate article name need
Charles17,

It is fine to have an article on an alternate way to manage repositories (a way other than ), however you should really find a better way to describe it than the current title of "Managing repositories from make.conf". I doubt a user would search that exact term when looking for an alternate way to manage repositories.

 * Please regard the history of the article. Most important IMHO was removing it from, and that's all I did.  Feel free to enjoy working on it ...  --Charles17 (talk) 17:00, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I understand. Maybe you could put it inside the make.conf article. --Maffblaster (talk) 17:06, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Already too much deprecated stuff in that article. "See also" links in two other articles should be enough. --Charles17 (talk) 17:32, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Please define "too much depreciated stuff". :) If this article is about managing repositories from make.conf, why not include this information in the make.conf article? The idea here is to but associated information in the correct articles. :) --Maffblaster (talk) 17:49, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Both /etc/portage/make.conf and /etc/portage/make.conf are about deprecated. And I cannot see why make.conf should need any more information about how to stick to deprecated stuff.

Hacks
What's the purpose of this article? I don't think the wiki is the right place to suggest unsupported hacks like this. — kensington 18:03, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Agreed. This is material for your userspace at most. Please see to moving it there. Also, "what links here" has a special page for editors who need this information, I do not agree with it appearing as a default footer on content pages. —a3li 18:37, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
