Um. yeah, seriously, if people know of bugs, but don't report it, they need a swift kick. >:) The portage devs -didn't- know the cache 'staleness' detection was broken for overlays + eclasses... so a bug way back whenever people noticed it would've been *quite* useful. Seriously, we would *much* rather have an extra 100 bugs of portage oddities that wind up as invalid bugs, then not know... So... stepping off the stool and getting back technical stuff, a fix is available at http://dev.gentoo.org/~ferringb/eclass-validation-fix.patch It's also InCvs. Devs should use this patch... won't break anything either, so no excuse in not using it :) ~brian -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
