No. And many gave up getting this sensible again. As is, the default USE flags for a desktop profile lead to a compilation failure when unattended due to this, which is very very bad. At one point I thought I will simply not stabilize GNOME-2.18 until pciutils is fixed to follow what upstream wants, what most other maintainers wish, and what is sensible to do. I see no reason whatsoever for this gzipping, not even for embedded devices as a gzipped file can't be mmapped. Then I realized GNOME-2.16 compilation for a fresh system with desktop profiles is broken now also anyhow. --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio --=-LHBRuesBZm/bt5dog+S+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGrMYQkeYb6olFHJcRAt67AKDbFm2k/BxHruBDnUk4oLyGM94c2ACeL5LB kg90zp8CAxjVRJFzrj5abUI= =hNT8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-LHBRuesBZm/bt5dog+S+-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
