Yeah, this is why I want FEATURES=test turned on for dev profiles. By the sheer number of packages that fail, it's obvious that most devs don't enable it. I know that some people will still disable it again, but I'm hoping it will at least raise the visibility of these problems. I try to file bugs for packages that fail, especially at gcc-porting time since we rely on testsuites to detect miscompiled code or other problems. So a failure-free tree is something I'd like to work towards, even if it is a pipe dream. -- fonts, Character is what you are in the dark. gcc-porting, wxwidgets @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
