If I wanted any silly package=20 admistration system messing with things like the default flags and compil= er,=20 I would better use any other distro. The problem is that a source based distro, relies deeply in the compiler = and=20 the libs, and those are tied to the profile in gentoo. So, no, an autoupd= ate=20 for this will not be wellcome at all in my side. Jes=FAs. --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
