Labels can be discussed on-list whenever there's a chance in hell of Portage implementing any non-trivial new features. Anyway, I'm going with the second wording in the original email. It seems fairly clear that most people aren't understanding the issue, and are jumping in and offering opinions without having looked at the tree (and no, I'm not going to give examples, because that'll just degenerate into "oh, so we can change this one particular case to do $blah", whilst missing the bigger point). Of everything suggested, only the two original wordings are correct, and of those two, the second is better defined. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/sPBYl7u/O2cIHSi9b4IZDSk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIFFu/96zL6DUtXhERAgxXAJ98fegVKy7bTBdirhPD2VDWrEr3rwCfY1Rs qQbuAnSiG7f5eIslIKCG89U= =XTIs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/sPBYl7u/O2cIHSi9b4IZDSk-- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
