I'm not even complaining about that. I will get a message, that i have to edit /etc/portage/package.use. So i do that, and after that i'm happy and everything compiles. But now, x86 users out there, will upgrade pciutils. They will not get any message about the breakage. They will not realize what's wrong. The hal-maintainers did their job: they checked, whether the zlib use-flag is set properly for pciutils. But this check is not executed, since hal has not been revbumbed on x86. And the pciutils-maintainers? They should check, where hal is installed - or maybe they should simply check the hal use-flag. And then, they should output a message, that the zlib use-flag would actually do harm. But the ebuild doesn't do that. So i think, right now, during these hours, clueless x86 gentoo users will upgrade their pciutils, not even realizing, that should do that with disabled zlib use-flag. I'm becoming a little sarcastic, but i hope, the problems with disharmony causes, will be noticed soon by others. --------------enig7256191F88812AD5310576FC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGrNQC7Ww7FjRBE4ARAr1qAJ0UXX/yY3J9znop+DJUgqUb0CStoACgiQr1 xQz5qYBEcdIZhbfrJpVeXbU= =fgnm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig7256191F88812AD5310576FC-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
