[gentoo-user] Message from emerge re transfig is ineffective

[Kevin O'Gorman]

A message from emerging the latest transfig reads:
    Please upgrade your package (transfig-3.2.4-r1) to use
toolchain-funcs.eclass

Why would it say that (rather than just doing it)?  How would I comply
(I truly have
no clue)?

It's a QA message from portage to the developer of the ebuild, ignore it.

Isn't there some way "they" could flag such messages so it doesn't
look like a peremptory command I have to jump up and perform?

Removing strict from FEATURES should stop you seeing these AFAIR.

I doubt it.  All it contains right now is 'buildpkg'.

Are you sure? What does "emerge --info | grep FEAT" say? strict is
enabled by default.

You're right.  I should have said "All I put in it is ...".  I didn't consider
the possibility that other things would get in there by default.
I'll look into the full story of what "strict" does, and if it still seems like
a good idea, I'll ditch it.  I'm concerned that there may be a reason
it's in there by default for a user; I'd say "normal user" but this is, after
all, gentoo that we're discussing.
