Michał Your statement implies that there is an active search process for broken packages. I did not intend to imply that if you happened across a broken package with no bugs, you needed to raise a bug to remove it from the tree. Actively building every package in the tree to discover candidates for removal takes a lot more resources than searching bugs to identify potential candidates. Its the old case of absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. -- Regards, Roy Bamford (Neddyseagoon) a member of elections gentoo-ops forum-mods trustees
