I've been trying to sit in #gentoo more often ( I figured insanity would
be a good excuse for my crummy grades ) and I am scared by the fact that
people still walk in and try using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~blar" to emerge
things. We all know why this is bad, and it's been bad for quite some time.
Opinions on adding a warning when users have set this in their environment?
Is it anything more complicated than:
<antarus> is there some funky way we can detect people using
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS and yell at them? :)
<zmedico> if "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS" in os.environ: print "dumbass"
Any reasons/opinions against adding something like this?
Because it's perfectly valid?
Really, if I would have expected such proposals back when I first wrote
package.keywords support I wuold have made a huge
explanation/announcement/whatever that it is *an extension* to portages
keyword system, *not a replacement for ACCEPT_KEYWORDS*.
package.keywords isn't better or worse than ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, it's just
different in its behavior.
