And i get caught even after reading this. But now i read a second time and get that the *directory* where the ebuild remains *must* have the same name as the package. I didn't pay attentio to this: > /usr/local/portage/ ... /mutt-conan/ ... But before realizing that i just changed the name back to *mutt* alone and the command run sucessfull. So i decided to let that way since emerge will tell from where comes the ebuild, as you say. I can't wait to see this tested, i'm doing a sync right now and gonna unfix mutt version in packages.mask so this afternoon will check what happens when i try to 'emerge mutt' (surely gonna be a new version) > Is this a behaviour that a significant portion of the mutt userbase > might want? Or are you just weird ;) ? Well, you use thunderbird, so maybe you're more like a "mouse user". This is the thing: in mutt you can flag a message as important (you got only one flag), also you have a 'ctrl-d' command that deletes a full thread. Sometimes threads get off-topic (an unconstructive flame for example) and when i realize that, and don't like the new topic i just 'ctrl-d' them. But what if i've flagged some message? It means that it's important to me, so i wanted to remain undeleted. The actual behaviour of mutt just delete everything. That's what the patch provides me, and with a single line of code. Simple. And David (the autor) do it so well that even added a new option for it to be in '~/muttrc' and let the default to be the old behaviour. So i think this patch can get to portage easily. By the way, if anyone interested, this is it: http://home.uchicago.edu/~dgc/sw/mutt/patch-1.5.8.dgc.flagsafe.1 > If you think it might be useful to other mutt > users, submit it to b.g.o Doing this later. > :) Yes, you can. Isn't Gentoo great? Did you know yesterday that "even > you" could contribute to development? $DEITY, I *love* that.... ! Yeah! I think it's time to read Nagatoro link now. -- Fernando Canizo - http://www.lugmen.org.ar/~conan/ #if 0 linux-2.2.16/fs/buffer.c -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
