What I'm asking about is that 7.3.0-r3 (which is stable) won't build with glibc-2.28 (which is stable). My question: is that considered a bug or not? One might think that the 7.3.0-r3 ebuild should require gblic < 2.28. Is one allowed to tweak ebuilds like that without bumping the revision? FWIW 7.3.0-r6 does build and works fine for my application which won't build with gcc-8 -- so it's purely an academic question. -- Grant
