That's what I did, and that's exactly the major part of what you cut out from the reply quotes. It being a blocker is exactly what I read out from the mails, without having found a bug number, which I perhaps lost in all the long thread. It being a _personal_ expectation was written with the notion that it would be as such in an ideal world, with the context of it being possibly blocked due to a USE flag in mind, and it was explicitly expressed as such. I do not see why I am getting such unconstructive replies to my majorly constructive e-mails. Should I cease writing e-mails to gentoo-dev, at the rare times I have something constructive to say? Now someone that deals with wxGTK or poEdit feel free to put use the constructive things I said in the thread if it's a good suggestion, and I'll use my time on working on wxGTK instead and upgrading my ~x86 system that has GNOME-2.14 ;) Great work it being in ~x86 already, btw! -- Mart Raudsepp -- [email protected] mailing list
