This one bit me just 2x days ago, so believe me, I'm aware of the issue - However, isn't the correct approach to fix the broken packages? I do understand this is a widespread problem that creates a lot of maintenance overhead w/r/t packages - however, getting in touch with people using linuxisms (or SunOS-isms, or ...isms, ...) and notifying them that "hey, we are a community, we want to use your software, and yes, you *should* code portably" seems like a better way to engage the overall issue. That being said, I'm sure there will be enough other fixes for other *isms to keep all of us busy and provide plenty of community engagement. So idk - maybe this is just a 2c. I'm still 60%/40% 'nay' Cheers, - Chris
