No no, calling me God won't get anyone anywhere... He was forced to do the kind of extremely basic testing that should have been done before an EAPI 1 accepting package manager was put in the tree. Unfortunately, he then committed a fix and didn't add unit tests to prevent future regressions, nor did he add unit tests to cover the rest of EAPI 1 functionality. There is a big difference between obscure bugs and blatant irresponsibility here. -- Ciaran McCreesh
