No, Diego. The argument is that you're coming up with a horrible and unnecessary hack where there are far cleaner alternatives, and that you're blindly sticking to it and trying to throw off any objections by devious means because you don't want to scrap said hack after all the misguided effort you've spent on it. However, since you seem to be incapable of admitting the gaping flaws in your own work, I'm asking for someone else to point this out to you in a formal manner rather than watch this thread go on for even longer. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
