And do you actually want to make such a change? If you do, give an explanation, and demonstrate why it can't be solved simply by dependencies.

In cases where such a reason exists, the arch teams are usually quite happy to prioritise if asked. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/nwkFeJuQiMAc9MESqUMMJJe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHfYuY96zL6DUtXhERArajAKCoVWEQAzP+cxe7IrtRVT2ZS8l6mgCfQeZ+ 7s98dGA6u+pQjG+hV9+NkHM= =Zuxs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/nwkFeJuQiMAc9MESqUMMJJe-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
