However, some tools prohibit distribution of the sourcecode, so this soluti= on isn't 100% safe. Any thoughts on how to handle this? http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D16222 Wkr, Sven Vermeulen --=20 Thanks to DRM, you know that something has been built in environment of=20 unspecified degree of security, from source you cannot check, written by=20 programmers you don't know, released after passing QA of unknown quality an= d=20 which is released under a license that disclaims any responsibility... --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+t8vGXfqz7M26L9sRAm/eAJ9T+4PCoFaxvx/Nh65mlrqgOeFE6QCfagob Vw1+DIpu8ghQukVYwsMgl7w= =ymAK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE--
