Bleh; fugly abuse of revisions; they are not meant to be used for upstream code changes. Sorry but mplayer-1.0_rc2_pre20070321-r4 or alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc2_p3234 is a whole lot more sane and readable than the above -rYYYYMMDD kludge. On a general note - if you are unable to agree upon an acceptable solution, then better refrain from taking 'emergency' measures on issues where there's no emergency whatsoever. There's been a bug open for over two months and noone ever suggested that I'd be a case for urgent council decision. -- Jakub Moc Email: jakub.moc@gmail.com -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
