 It might be worth skipping to 3.2, since that would simplify regex handling.

The only problem we have there is that bash-3.2.17 only comes in patches
on top of 3.2.  During bootstrap that's problematic, as gnu patch (or
any other patch) might not be available, or simply b0rked.
For that reason we bootstrap with a portage pre SVN revision 10460,
which does not require =3.2.17.
See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229677#c11 on why PMS should
require 3.2.17 over plain 3.2 if you decide to push the requirement
update.

We can work around it by using a self-made pre-patched tarball, though.

Stable isn't the measure. Stages are. Read the original email carefully
and you shall see why.

[gentoo-dev] links between anoncvs.g.o and sources.g.o

2008-12-20 Thread Jonas Bernoulli
Hi

May I suggest that you add links so that anoncvs.g.o and sources.g.o
link to one another. Users might find one of those pages and think
that's all there is to it. However both of the pages contain
information not available on the other. anoncvs.g.o mentions git and
rsync, and sources.g.o allow viewing repo contents using your browser.
