But I will agree that this is the correct direction. Once both parts of the puzzle are in place, then I will support cutting USE=debug -- but not until one can reproduce its functionality sans hacks. No point in replacing one hack with another. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

This is totally useless IMHO until you can set it on a per-package level, so they are related. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

That's why x-modular.eclass has USE=debug to accomplish the same thing. Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The installer guys have been putting some work into something like this, might want to ask them about it. Think it ended up being called gimli, but don't recall for sure.

Um, those both read the same way to me. You just switched the ordering
around, so the (starts|ends)with is on the bottom instead of the top,
but both times (starts|ends)with is longer.

[gentoo-portage-dev] Portage rating in O'Reilly book
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I don't know whether all of you read my blog, but I wanted to make sure you saw this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/spyderous/60809.html?thread=89737#t89737. It's a reply from the author of a book on why he rated our package management at a 4 instead of a 5, and it gives some good ideas on where users feel things could improve. Feel free to ignore the binary packages bit, as that's more of a Gentoo philosophical issue.
