How do you suggest the ebuilds be fixed properly? per ebuild use defaults that don't exist? This is the 2nd time somebody has mentioned fixing the ebuilds, without really backing it up with anything. Unless y'all have something in mind, please stop using phrases like "fix your ebuilds" to make it look like you have a point. I'm sorry for the time you have spent with invalid bugs(and you are doing a good job since I've never seen one..kudos), I know that is a drag and doesn't really help anybody in the long run, but this argument is no different then the argument for any other default flag. For the record, the eds flag was added as a default flag because every 3rd gnome user would file bugs or complain via forums because they installed gnome, found no evolution-data-server integration, and then be bummed when they had to recompile packages again. This whole thread seems to have come from a misunderstanding of how use.defaults work and 20 min of boredom. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
