 Hi everyone,
 
 Tigger alert ... shameless plug.  I sent the following to the

Very interesting! Thank you!

 Those people know what they are doing and could un-force the use
 flag. That would prevent people from accidentally disabling it via
 USE=-*.

Are we talking about forcing +cxx globally or for gcc (+toolchain)?

Has this been a major problem in the past? Shouldn't people who set
USE=-* also know what they are doing?

 I'm not normally one to prevent people from shooting themselves, but
 in this case the safety would be simple to toggle.

What if there was some other reason someone had to set a +cxx for some
package in package.use.force, and I'm missing out that reason with my
-cxx in profiles/package.use.force that I need to circumvent your
safety-measure?

 * don't ever assume that the user knows what he is doing
 * still allow him to break things if he really chooses to
 * don't make excuses for gentoo bugs like not properly checking the
 toolchain for validity, including necessary package
 dependencies/requirements

+1, that's what I wanted to express.

 It is, but I think if that's disabled you're on your own. :-)
 
 Perhaps we should add a package.use.force entry for this. Is there any
 reason not to?

 Hi everyone,
 
 I'd like to announce a new subproject of Hardened Gentoo, Hardened musl
 [1].

This is awesome, thanks! I'm really looking forward to see a complete
desktop working with musl.

I will soon try it out and experiment with it.

Best regards,
Alex

 Due to nirbheek's lack of time the following packages are now up for

I'm using it, but don't know how to maintain a package yet. Just letting
you know, before you have to throw it out of the tree, I'll take it.

 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Package_Tags

Without expecting to have any weight on the discussion, I just wanted to
let you know: As a system maintainer I like to use the categories, e.g.
when doing 'eix -I media-fonts/' or in package.use 'media-fonts/* X'.
