The current situation is very annoying for users that update often, and also makes Portage mostly unusable for automatic server upgrades
After unmerging mono-tools so Portage could finally run a whole update, it stopped halfway through because of this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132122 I noticed that several users have commented with a relevant complaint: GCC-4.x is required by the ebuild, but no information is ever conveyed to the end user about this fact. The ebuild does not have a dependency on GCC-4.x. Try reading the bug - users are basically being shoved off with an arrogant silence and a stamp on their forehead saying INVALID. Nothing personal against Jakub Moc who probably has a lot to do, but the handling of relevant issues raised in the bugzilla is just unacceptable. What's the state of Portage and Gentoo in general? Is there not enough hands to do a proper job? Or is it just that none of the devs see what's wrong because bugs are wrongly being closed marked "INVALID" such as the above when they're in fact not? -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
