Well, I said how it is. I don't see anything in it that indicates I am so upset and angry that I need to do these things. I did however loose hours of work time, but that's life. > Instead, just ask those who decided to > follow upstream why and if they have even thought about the issues you > brought up. This is what I am doing with this as well, in addition to the bug reports. But as this is widespread to at least 4-6 system packages, I brought it up here as well to ensure this is not something I have to fight against in overlays and time wastes continuously in the future. Oh and net-tools has not distributed anything in .tar.lzma, so this has nothing to do with following upstream in any shape or form in this case. --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio --=-M6HxHHx3GXG7+/J+5Ynb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkgjUrQACgkQkeYb6olFHJd+0QCeKUAfhIkOU9HZxNpKQSjcqW8w KMQAnRh/uer9e8GQ20biDqtKLcjBDYuY =VYfu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-M6HxHHx3GXG7+/J+5Ynb-- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
