DetailsI have never seen a package do anything like this, and frankly it is unacceptable and totally unnecessary. We don't configure daemons for you so
1) Why the hell are we even running this --testkernel thing? It totally blocks pacman for **60 seconds**! 2) Why are you showing me all this garbage on install? Of course I have to configure the package. (1/1) installing vnstat [######################] 100% ==> Testing the kernel ... This test will take about 60 seconds. [==============================] done. Detected boot time variation during test: 0 Maximum boot time variation set in config: 15 The current kernel doesn't seem to suffer from boot time variation problems. Everything is ok. ==> Every interface you want to monitor has to be introduced to vnStat! ==> eg. vnstat -u -i eth0 ==> An example of a crontab to update vnStats database every 5 minutes ==> has been put in /usr/share/doc/vnstat/examples/vnstat.cron ==> Additionally, vnstat includes a daemon which can be added to your ==> rc.conf to update the database. ==> DO NOT HAVE BOTH THE CRON AND RC SCRIPTS ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME. ==> ==> Webbased statistics can be generated using: ==> /usr/share/doc/vnstat/examples/vnstat.cgi |
