Ciaran "the Gnome basher" again. ;) If `emerge gnome` fails entirely, why was it ever marked stable on the specific arch? I don't want to speak about the Gnome "cannot fix imlib stuff" herd, since there is enough KDE "cannot fix a lot of things - at best yesterday" herd stuff. To answer your question: Yes, it's better to wait a bit longer - and no, I don't speak about minor stuff. I just say, arch maintainers can't know, if there's a problem maybe, even though the ebuild compiled flawlessly for the moment. Carsten -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
