Are you missing a pipe after the egrep statement? What's the point of
just spitting to stdout?
FWIW that bit's not new code; it's there in at least 2.6.25-r4 (all I
checked) as well.
This could probably do with a comment/echo/einfo saying such, but it
appears to me that the egrep is simply informational/debugging, as the
fix__headers call (function inherited from kernel-2.eclass) appears to
ultimately deal with the same list, after a bit of additional filtering
of the list of regular files fed into it from find.
(I investigated since I had the package in my updates today and after
seeing the comment here, wanted to ensure it wasn't potentially
destabilizing typo.)

A user who executes an ebuild might obtain a copy of an Adobe product that Adobe distributes. A user who executes an ebuild might create a derivative work of an Adobe product, and users who use proprietary software are advised to consult with lawyers as appropriate if they are concerned about the terms of license agreements that they may or may not be parties to. Have you heard of the term contributory infringement? It means you're helping someone else break copyright law. The recent JMRI decision showed that at least free-software licenses are copyright licenses rather than contracts, and there's reasonable support that other types of licenses are the same. That means if we're enabling encouraging our users to infringe copyrights or patents by providing ebuilds that do so, we may be guilty of the same. IANAL and all that. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com pgpFC5Pj8xsVs.pgp Description: PGP signature

Good news everyone! This has become a non-issue, at least in the next version of flash player[1]. Thanks again for all your input! [1] http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/08/curl_tradeoffs.html -- Jim Ramsay Gentoo Developer (rox/fluxbox/gkrellm) signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Just make sure you check use.local.desc first to make sure no one else did it already.
