But seems I'm in minority on this. Still, if we're going to change this behaviour, it's the case to do it=20 properly, by also updating the behaviour of portage itself, and document th= is=20 properly (as in, give a reasoning for this change of behaviour). Note to Danny: releng controls default-linux, okay, but there are other=20 profiles than those, hardened and Gentoo/Alt. The decision should have been= =20 taken by all the three of us, not unilaterally. =2D-=20 Diego "Flameeyes" Petten=C3=B2 - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE --nextPart2824706.pOEcW55VV4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFHwaqe2h1+2mHVWMRAr++AKDeb6Lpp5RLl0ncf0ITbYvlO6EfxgCfUoH2 HR0s2SvRBPW9SzDd7DHiCVs= =PGGi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2824706.pOEcW55VV4-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
