The thing that amazes me is that i very rarely find a bug report for the ebuild that doesn't work for me. I usaually commit the bugs i find but now it seems clear that some people does'nt do so. I thing it could be a good idea at this point to introduce an automatic (user indipendent) bug report in portage, so that if ebuild compiling fails or some other errors arise, portage automagically submit a bug to the bug dabatabase of gentoo. That should speed up bugfixing (at lease for the majors bugs that prevent even building) and should' nt be that hard to implement in portage.
