As in the ebuild(s) I submit I have | access to and nothing else. Uh, that's still enough to screw up portage completely. One suitably broken ebuild can still cause lots and lots of errors all over the place. I still don't see what's wrong with having a seperate repositry (eg "breakmygentoo") for things that don't make it into the "official" tree. (Well, actually, I see the whole "submitting bugs about things that are caused by breakmygentoo ebuilds" issue, but a few messy public executions by, say, Spider should sort that out... A 'tainted' flag on emerge info would be good for that...) -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
