Hi,
I've had the 'stricter' FEATURE turned on for some time and found that
many packages failed due to the QA notice regarding poor programming
practices. I filed a few bugs for this but have not gotten a lot of
response, or the suggestion to talk to upstream. Obviously the latter is
always a good option, but I'm wondering what the intend behind this QA
notice is.
My view is that if this is a QA notice then, if a package doesn't emerge
because of it, it is a Gentoo QA bug and package maintainers should be
responsible for fixing it.
If the notice is only informational, then the emerge process should not
be stopped because of it (and this would mean that it is nice to fix
these issues but not mandatory).
Kind regards,
Hans
