Hello

After seeing:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440214

Looking to a lot of its blockers shows that we are using "elog" messages
for informing people about configuration (like pointing people to
external links to get proper way of configuring things, tell them to add
to some system groups...). I thought that maybe this kind of information
could be simply included in a canonical file under /usr/share/doc/
package dir called, for example, CONFIGURATION or SETUP. We would them
point people (now with a news item, for the long term provably a note to
handbook to newcomers would be nice) to that file to configure their
setups. The main advantages I see:
- We will flood less summary.log ;)
- The information to configure the package is always present while
package is installed, now, if we remove merge produced logs, people will
need to reemerge the package or read directly the ebuild

What do you think?
