Lots? If you'd posted this yesterday, I would have been able to recall the last time I was hit with one. > Great, great thanks to the devs for forcing me to maintain my > own overlay to clean up the crap. (anyone who's interested in > it, please give a note). I did get a circular dependency today, sdl and directfb and guess what? The error message also contained the solution, which was to temporarily change a USE flag. The great thing about free software is that it all comes with a full money back guarantee. So before you start shooting your mouth off when something produced by volunteers in their own time fails to work for you, stop and remember how much you paid for it and why. Since you are clearly able to solve a problem that comes fro upstream and which the combined might of SUSE and Gentoo has failed to do, why not offer to help instead of posting sarcastic rants to a user support list? $DEITY forbid, you could even file a bug describing the problem and providing your solution. -- Neil Bothwick We are upping our standards - so up yours.
