Okay, I've taken enough flames for this. Obviously I thought that by electing to use -* and/or ~x86 packages I could assist testing the packages for future promotion to gentoo stable, possibly contributing back into the community; I did not think that I was electing to emerge broken ebuilds that were going to take the systems down.
Personally I wouldn't be putting in ebuilds that would do that, but that's just me I guess. Oh, well, fine by me. I'll just take those flags out and let others worry about testing the new packages. Who really needs more testers anyway? > Perhaps you should have tested the upgrade first on a local system. If > it's in a work enviroment then I'm surprised it wouldn't have been > policy to do so. They are my local systems, running at home. One is still down (I was able to killall emerge on another before it too locked up), so I'll have to go home to recycle it. I guess I'll have to quit whining now. -- [email protected] mailing list
