[gentoo-dev] typo in "scrypt" USE-Flag

There's a typo in the "scrypt" USE-FLAG. A bug-report seemed to big for
that.
Correct would be "scrypt: Use libscrypt for the scrypt
algorithm"

Found here:

# equery u tor
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for net-misc/tor-0.2.6.1_alpha:
 U I
 - - bufferevents      : Use libevent's buffered IO implementation
(unstable, buggy)
 + - nat-pmp           : Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol
 + - scrypt            : Use libscript for the scrypt algorithm
 + - seccomp           : Enable seccomp for system call filtering
 + - stats             : Enable tracking of how much of each kind of
resource we download
 - - test              : Workaround to pull in packages needed to run
with FEATURES=test. Portage-2.1.2 handles this internally, so don't set
it in make.conf/package.use anymore
 + - tor-hardening     : Compile tor with hardening on vanilla
compilers/linkers
 + - transparent-proxy : Enable transparent proxying
 + - upnp              : Enable UPnP port mapping support
 - - web               : Build a tor2web service instead of a tor client

so... instead of emailing 4 people (three bug-wranglers plus one
maintainer), you email around 300 people (assuming that subscriber count
is around the same as #gentoo-dev users, which is probably a severe
underestimate).

Alex: no need for a snarky comment. A simple "a bug is fine, please do
open one" would have been enough.

Marco: thank you for your contribution, however small. Bugzilla is
indeed the proper place for any and all ebuild improvements.

Cheers,

Rémi

I agree with Alex. You reach less people by opening a bug-report and
not everyone who's on the list. 
But my email received far more attention than it should. My idea was to
hit everyone, so 99% of the list could easily ignored it and only the 1
person with enough time and commit-rights could silently change it.

There are enough bug-reports around in the whole of community which
should gain some attention. ... this report would be none of it.
Be as it may. Thanks for your time.

Nice catch! Pushed as:

To be most efficient that kind of emails should go directly
to <maintainer> written in metadata.xml for a package.

Thanks!
