Well, for one, you shouldn't be copying log data to unprotected areas of the file-system. Also, as someone else said (sorry, I don't feel like finding who) there are machines where gcc may have never been merged, or the logs have been rotated. > the complete project BAS/c is build on this buildtime-database.

Honestly, I like the idea of using bash, simply because it gives people a way to compare compile times in Gentoo and LFS, but that really isn't that important. > But hey, sure, we can also take every other package or sourcecode to > determine this GU. > We've chossen gcc, because this is on really *every* gentoo-system > installed and big enough to get an accurate GU.

I think it would be the best option, for reasons already stated. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Operational/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
