I will add such a section if anyone requests it. Any reason why you chose bashing Chris' GLEP in another mail and start your own instead of working together and bringing your input for 42? > Lightweight > It is not reasonable to expect all users to have an MTA, web browser, > email client, cron daemon or text processing suite available on their > system.

I miss references to the old log ewarn issue, which really should be solved as well while we're at it. There are some good ideas in your GLEP, so are some in Chris'. No good is coming from having two similar GLEPs around at the same time. So please don't waste our time [1] by having two more or less redundant GLEPs discussed. cheers, Wernfried [1] http://dev.gentoo.org/~chriswhite/flame.html Code listing 1.6 -- Wernfried Haas (amne) - amne at gentoo dot org Gentoo Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org IRC: #gentoo-forums on freenode - email: forum-mods at gentoo dot org -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
