You still get to keep all the parts. If you play with power tools
you can expect to get hurt.

I'm sorry I rushed. I meant to say that xenocara would have been
compiled in the same way. If you follow the instructions correctly
against a pristine source repository you will get the same binary
artefacts that upstream produce and so of course they will do the
same thing in the same way.

I mixed up "broken" with "didn't build".

You cannot use autism as an excuse for anything in a group of engineers.

And you cannot comment on perfectionism with bad grammar. It is "looks like".
