I believe he was refering to the fact that Gentoo is "meta-distribution" and is set up in a way that each user is basically running their own separate fork, customized to their needs. Things like that get added to Gentoo itself when some random user decides post a bug report over on bugzilla. It would probably have more of a chance of being accepted if an ebuild was created by that person (or anyone) too, so that developers could just rubber-stamp it. -- Tyler Trafford -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
