Then explain people that doing this is not the way. I would suspect that people think that this is the actual solution. It's also not really like people would do this to hide the fact that they have hidden a global rm -rf somewhere around.And is it really a quality issue? In all cases? There must be cases where the problem is package + arch + useflag specific, and this solution "solves" it. What I mean with deliberate, is circumventing when knowing it is wrong. If people know it's wrong, and still do it, they are clearly malvolent. Paul -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
