If you want to do something useful, then please check that you have existing alias in metadata.xml for the ebuilds that you are maintaining (to name a few: qt, secure-tunneling or comm-fax is NOT an existing alias on bugzilla). -- Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:jakub@gentoo.org GPG signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3D9E ... still no signature ;)
