To deal with that one needs a clear workflow; given that it replaces an automatic feature or hack without much rebuilds, by something that needs you to decide whether or not to rev bump and cause more rebuilds. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
