What is the proper procedure to ask for some modification in a ebuild? (Bugs as well as feature requests...)
My current concrete example: gtk+ 3.* has a configuration option --enable-debug=[no/minimum/yes] (default=debug_default) There is no USE variable to control this. From what I [think I] understood, the default is set in the source file configure.ac, which sets debug_default to "yes"! This has the effect that it is impossible to launch gtk applications (e.g., zathura) from a terminal and still do something useful with the terminal, which gets spammed no-end with obnoxious messages about stuff the user cannot do anything about, anyway. If I'm not mistaken about the effect of --enable-debug, this upstream-caused problem would be easily fixed for gentooers. TIA Jorge Almeida
