I know that Paludis users like having the option of inheriting defaults from the profile for expanded vars... --=20 Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis is faster : http://ciaranm.org/show_post.pl?post_id=3D61 --Sig_qw130=WAtGnIGjT_g9dS5G0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFmr7c96zL6DUtXhERArXsAJ0QHfDDskGoCXkG5Pwg3sBCttIR6gCfaNuU 9l655O2nkmZkCtxBSYiZuiQ= =HQLp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_qw130=WAtGnIGjT_g9dS5G0-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
