You can't expect us to hand hold every user out there. Gentoo isn't meant to be that way. Its a meta distribution, so you get to choose what you want to do. Just please don't force the developer community to bend to your needs. If you don't like that? Then fine, just accept that and please move on. --=20 Lance Albertson Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- GPG Public Key: Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net --------------enigF010C82702809692F7EF85C7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFE2PX/QW+hXSf0t0IRArheAKCRuoEJqQNscwkoRM9re7nqEm3GCgCbBvqo HoK4whNCEj8ucUDGljLR3Qc= =pcyC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF010C82702809692F7EF85C7-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
