But users can already do all sorts of stupid things and blame gentoo. In fact, they already do. Just look at bugzilla or ask jakub. As long as we continue to enforce the posting of emerge --info on bugs this shouldn't be a problem. Any bug submitted with a user-screwed-it-up profile can just be closed with a WONTFIX and a short explanation of what they did wrong. Just like we do it now for a million other things. Let's not hold anyones hand, let them make their mistakes and learn from them. That philosophy is at the heart of Gentoo and the main reason I use it. - --curtis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRN57U0b8Q0uRCeTQAQEjJQf/RfD9Jsf1ODBdsoEXDak8W6OeJesiNLZq mDqV7ZWXhV1OtbPz1zYGxVeiAfpcNVNuPlvEmPuP5T1eQ7z5bPEr18w22wpzm0tn itXvo7iqUQBu6QydtG0ly8ZKJVQAeXp5kqb48oTxLSg+Y13/hJ2BSNZCrLgNG0RB mJjFT+Wb4QFK8UzREXuluTl9SxwBPpIGJc67aZVa0T1ZhF/tw1ojwSNIRO0CCm19 3YK2plPzTyLge8KjFvNEN6ql7gTbHZ3fvAJ+ANvX2MWiMLT8egrrLpCIq+SsYyZi Q2I6GOKA7V1SwcrrPaCSlk92ASuUqznYK/kF3DZQXsyupXTVBv6R2A== =ONew -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
