The bugs we get from users who come around wanting -SHINEY-SPARKLE-NEW-BROKEN-BROKEN-BADQUALITY- ebuilds who then think that its ok to bug us on things that they in their limited scope of mind consider "unrelated" because its "not the package I got from BMG. Guess what? REFORMAT YOUR SYSTEM. REDO. REINSTALL. We've had a lot of trouble with end users who take this, shiney, sparkly, new, and KNOWN BROKEN. thing, install it, realize its BROKEN, remove the ebuild and fix something up, then two weeks later their system breaks when compiling, and lo and behold... They still had that bad header file there, or it was that development library lying around that wasn't useful. That, together with their usually way off syntax errors, Mangled KEYWORDS and totally broken DEPEND section, makes me abhor and loathe BMG ebuilds. So, I want a contract, written in your blood, on your soul and with the skin peeled from your back as parchment that you promise to wipe your whole harddrive before ever touching the Gentoo bugzilla again. No, I don't care that you think you know what you are doing, others thought so too. Insisted on it even. Did that help? //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
