If someone's dumb enough to commit a syntax error in an eclass then everything that sources that eclass breaks all the time. You'd get zillions of errors on a simple 'emerge sync'. But then, since everyone tests everything before committing, this is all hypothetical. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
