No, you are stilling misunderstanding. The news item goes to great lengths to explain that there is a new way and it is different from the old way. Jarry mentioned an EMPTY file, not an absent file. The ebuild does not install an empty file, so it is not the default. All the questions you have raised are clearly explained in the news item. Please read it and study it, it really is complete. You appear to be confusing yourself by adding things that are not there. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
