In my 4 years of experience with this package and maintaining it and contributing patches upstream. You don't think I've suggested it? You don't think I've tweaked this ebuild to work as best as possible for our users? I know the other thing I didn't answer was the fact that some variables aren't quoted. It doesn't matter at all considering their configure script can't handle spaces in the path names anyway. We've been though that already. Additionally, qmake can't handle spaces in there even if you do quote so it really doesn't matter much. Some of these review changes truly feel like working at a company where you know the ins and outs of your tool. You can rattle off its capabilities to a millimeter. A new boss/manager comes in and has no idea what the tool is or the mission but by god he knows how to do your job better and you will follow his procedures. It makes no difference if his steps have no effect on the tool and waste more of your time. You additionally have to start giving him progress reports on how you're doing using his procedures, which instantly means you get less work done. That's what this commits review list feels like. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
