the foreseeable future.

Also, if you are looking for a gummiboot replacement, please have a
look at me comments on the related bug report.

[gentoo-user] net-libs/webkit-gtk build failure

[刘洋]

Hi list,

I got a failure when emerge webkit-gtk, but it seemd that only for
certain versions of this package.
2.4.11 and 2.4.11-r200 were okay except 2.10.9 or 2.12.3

Here is the last line of build.log.

It hadn't occurred to me that I could have more than one kernel in

I hadn't heard of it, but it looks interesting now you point it out.

Well, that's my research topic for today sorted out.  :)

do anything sane.

If you managed to file a bug report, can you provide the URL to it?
