I've been working with upstream, various users, and Dan Rahn from=20 OpenSuSE (who has been absolutely great to work with, especially so since= =20 he can do the coding I can't), on glib-2.16 and gcc-4.3 compatibility=20 patches for net-nntp/pan, and something like this would certainly make my= =20 life a lot easier. FWIW the Gentoo bugs are 21160 and 214446, with half=20 the story on the pan-user list (which is developer oriented too right now= =20 since the stable build is ancient so most users are on the beta releases=20 or SVN). The point here though is that particularly for the glib patch, which has=20 undergone several rounds of testing and looks set for another round or=20 two at least, this user patch infrastructure would sure be nice! --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
