I tentatively agree in terms of USe flag mixups...however... > Like it is not enough there is version bump every few days... > Just alter only live ebuild and branch of it with each release and do > not alter the releases unless really critical bug is there.

However if I want to stay on a particular rev (so I don't recompile all the time) I can pmask it (and so can you.) > > Imagine that I would adopt your approach with libreoffice.

That being said; if upstream did an actual release every week I wouldn't be offended if those releases made it into the tree; again it is up to me as a user to decide if i am recompiling or not. -A > > Cheers > > Tom > >
