I'm in favour of this GLEP, while it's implementation may be difficult it would provide users with a better basis for what is good for a particular package. I c?ompile with relatively safe flags and I feel like my system isn't really benefitting from the fact that I'm compiling stuff because I don't know much about cflags and what their particular implications are for certain packages. I feel relatively certain that there is a high percentage of Gentoo users that are the same as me.
Also, from a support standpoint, having a stable set of flags that a user can compile with in order to debug problems is quite beneficial in my opinion. Debian does not have problems providing separate packages for separate architectures, why should this be a problem for Gentoo? -- especially if we utilise our large user base in aiding us to find optimal compilation optimisations. -- -------------------------~ ----------Jason-A-Mobarak-~ -aether-at-gentoo-dot-org-~ -------------------------~ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
