The only action required +is if specific Gentoo defaults were overridden in the past, as the new +ebuilds will install them to new files in the new listed directories. + +Such admins will need to edit the new files in the new directories or +make overrides in their own files in the new directories using a smaller +number in the filename. + +For example, if the system administrator has commented out 'AcceptEnv COLORTERM' +in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, they will need to do the same in the new +/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/90gentoo.conf file. |
